A team of UN experts has issued a “stark warning about surging Israeli settler terror” in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem and “the existential risk it poses to Palestinian communities’ presence on the land”.
The group of 14, including the UN’s special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, cited a sharp increase in the number of Palestinian casualties in settler attacks this year, saying at least 13 had been killed and close to 500 injured in five months amid the “settler brutality”.
The experts said in a statement:
