Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem claims Israel is attempting to eliminate the Palestinian presence in the West Bank through a combination of interconnected policies. In a recent statement, the group outlined that Israel is utilizing five interconnected mechanisms to achieve its goal of establishing a permanent and contiguous Israeli-Jewish presence in the territory.
According to B’Tselem, Israel's policy in the occupied West Bank underwent a significant transformation towards the end of 2022, characterized by more overt and accelerated measures of control, violence, and dispossession.
Yuli Novak, B’Tselem's executive director, stated that Palestinians in the West Bank are currently witnessing the realization of a single political project that permeates every aspect of their lives. She described the plight of Palestinian communities in the region as encompassing displacement, economic collapse, and constant fear of violence from the Israeli military or occupying forces.
The rights group reported that Israel had killed 1,107 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 245 children, between October 7, 2023, and August 31, 2026.
