Armed Israeli settlers expelled 900 Palestinians from West Bank parts since January, says UN

The United Nations has warned that high levels of expulsion continue in the Israel-occupied West Bank, with more than 900 Palestinians forced from their homes since the beginning of 2026 amid escalating illegal Israeli settler violence. Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that “high levels of displacement continue since the beginning of 2026, more than 900 Palestinians have been forced out of their homes and communities, mostly due to settler violence and access restrictions followed by demolitions”.
