Israeli forces demolish West Bank homes, displacing over 3,000 Palestinians
Israeli forces demolished homes in Hebron as part of an ongoing operation that has forcibly displaced more than 3,000 Palestinians in the West Bank.
Israel has barred a 23-person multinational delegation from entering the West Bank during the olive harvest season, according to The Guardian. The delegation, comprising representatives from France, Spain, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, and the United States, was preparing to attend the Progressive International's Second Ramallah Congress in November.
The congress aimed to discuss the economic and legal dimensions of the occupation and prepare a roadmap for international action. However, Israeli authorities stopped and detained the group for approximately nine hours without providing a clear explanation for their refusal to enter the territory. British MP Sam Tarry stated that the group believed they had a genuine chance of crossing the Allenby crossing with Jordan into the West Bank, but their efforts were thwarted due to political reasons.
