Since the start of the war in Gaza, almost six months agomore than 1,130 Palestinians have had to abandon their villages in the occupied West Bank due to an uptick in Israeli settler violence, backed by the military, and a state push to deport more Palestinians.

Attacks on Palestinians in this territory have intensified. Total, 14 people have died after two nights of raids by the Israeli Army, which has also prevented ambulances from treating the wounded.

“Palestinian Red Crescent teams tried several times to enter the Nur Shams camp to transport the sick and wounded, but were prevented from entering,” said Khaleel al-Qaddumi, a Palestinian paramedic.

In Nablus, one of the drivers has been killed in an attack by Israeli settlers, while two other Palestinians have been shot down by the Army near Hebron.

Fear is growing among West Bankers due to to the escalation of violence by Israeli settlers, who continue to expand their presence in the area violently and supported by their government.

“What we are seeing from the Israeli response is a demonstration that Israel goes far beyond October 7 and It goes far beyond Gaza and Hamas. “Israel is acting as an opportunity to meet other objectives of annexation of the territory,” said Áurea Moltó, director of ‘REDElcano’.

The United States considers sanctioning an Israeli battalion for attacks on the West Bank

USA is considering sanctioning to the ultra-Orthodox battalion of the Israel Defense Forces for possible crimes against Human Rights in the West Bank.

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, could announce “in a matter of days” sanctions against the Netzah Yehuda.

If announced, these sanctions would prevent the members of this battalion from receiving military aid or training from the US Army in what would be the first application of the law promoted in 1997 by then Senator Patrick Leahy.

For his part, Netanyahu has indicated that such a decision would constitute the “height of absurdity” and has warned the United States that “the Israeli Army cannot be subject to sanctions.”

Meanwhile, the European Union has already adopted sanctions against four radical settlers and two Jewish supremacist groups responsible for riots and attacks in the West Bankfollowing the agreement to respond to the crisis in the Middle East with sanctions against Hamas and against settlers for putting the two-state solution in check.
