International law prohibits territorial dispossession, but in October Israeli settlers committed 260 attacks against the Palestinian population.
MADRID, Nov. 14. (EUROPA PRESS).- The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights warned this Friday that Israel has increased the pace of its process illegal annexation of West Bank with a significant increase in violent acts against Palestinian populationthe demolitions of their housingmovement restrictions, expansion of their settlements and the forced displacementin what simultaneously constitutes a violation of the International law and a war crime.
The spokesperson of High Commissioner, Talyen all Kelityrecalled that the 260 attacks of colonists Israelis registered in October – mostly to prevent the harvest of olives, one of the main livelihoods of the population and the economy Palestinians – represent an unprecedented number that the United Nations Organization (HIM) began collecting this data in the area in 2006, and it reflects “a broader pattern of a increase in violence against the Palestinians.”
We must also remember the operation launched earlier this year by the Israeli army against the refugee camps in the northern West Bank under the alibi of the fight against the Palestinian militias. That offensive by the Israeli army, called Operation Iron Wall, focused mainly on the city and refugee camp of Jenin, but eventually expanded to Tulkarem and other points in the northern West Bank.
For this reason, Al Kheetan reiterated that “the Israeli government’s assertion of its sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, as well as the annexation of parts of this territory represents a violation of International Law, as confirmed at the time by the International Court of Justice,” and that the forced displacement of the population amounts to an “illegal transfer, which is a war crime.”

The High Commissioner’s spokesperson insisted, once again, that Israel must put an end to these operations, withdraw from the territories it occupies in the West Bank through the withdrawal of its military positions and the evacuation of all settlers from the territory to facilitate the execution of the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
