The issue of Israeli settlers in the West Bank has long stirred emotions. Despite objections from many countries, including the United States, Israel continues to legalize the construction of additional settlements in the West Bank, where Palestinians live.

At the beginning of July, the largest land seizure occurred in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli authorities announced that an area of 13 square kilometres would be allocated for Jewish settlement. According to the Israeli movement Peace Now, granting land state property status is one of Israel's primary methods of taking control over territories in the West Bank occupied since the 1967 war.

For Palestinians, such actions are territorial expansion, which prevents long-term peace agreements. It should also be noted that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues in the Gaza Strip, which began after Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023.
