With the world’s attention focused on Israel’s “War on Gaza” it is easy to overlook increased Israeli military actions and growing settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.  More than 700,000 Israeli settlers live in 279 illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank, including 14 in the occupied East Jerusalem.  Since October 7, 2023, Israeli military and settler attacks have killed more than 320 Palestinians. Both the United States and the United ­Kingdom have announced visa bans on violent settlers due to this flare-up.
