UN says West Bank settler violence has reached 'all-time high'

The UN human rights office (OHCHR) said violence in the occupied West Bank is worsening as the Israeli government continues to approve new settlements. The office warned that the situation is being driven by mounting attacks on local Palestinian communities.

OHCHR said settlers and Israeli security forces have "often" acted together in assaults on Palestinian areas. The warning was issued on Wednesday and described the level of settler violence as having reached an "all-time high." The source ties the deterioration to ongoing settlement approvals by the Israeli government.

No casualties, arrests, or specific incident locations were provided in the text, but the office presented the trend as a worsening pattern across the occupied West Bank.
