Mleihat told the Anadolu Agency that settlers and Israeli authorities were exploiting the political and security circumstances created by the war to intensify pressure on Palestinians to displace them from their land. Attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank are frequent, but they have surged since October 2023, often involving live fire and organised efforts to displace nomadic Palestinian communities.
