The United Nations Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, said he was “alarmed” by the increase in armed confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in the occupied West Bank, further fueling “fear, hatred and anger”. At least 100 Palestinians have died as a result of these clashes since the beginning of the year, according to data from the agency.
“Increasing violence in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is fueling a climate of fear, hatred and anger. It is critical to immediately de-escalate tensions to make way for critical initiatives for a viable political horizon Wennesland said in a press release. pronunciation.
Seven months ago, the Israeli military stepped up raids and “counter-terror operations” in the occupied West Bank in response to a wave of five attacks on Israeli soil between March and April that killed 18 people, which in turn has led to an increase in violent attacks. by young armed Palestinians, especially in the north of the region, in the area of Nablus and Jenin.
So far this year, 114 Palestinians, including unarmed civilians such as journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and minors, have been killed in violent incidents involving Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, the highest number in the area since 2015, according to a Palestinian Defense Ministry tally. health.
only this weekend, four Palestinian teenagers were killed by Israeli shootings in several raids on the West Bank; and an 18-year-old Israeli soldier died early this morning as a victim of a Palestinian attack yesterday at the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem.
Wennesland recalls that many of these operations are even taking place in Area A of the West Bank, managed civilly and militarily by a weakened Palestinian National Authority, and which Israeli forces are theoretically unable to access without authorization.
“The fragility of the situation underscores the urgency to change dynamics on the ground, while addressing the underlying political and security issues that fuel the current instability,” Wennesland said, urging the Israeli and Palestinian authorities “to restore calm and prevent further escalation”. .
