Quick removal

Israeli’s occupation of Palestinian region is illegal under international law. As an occupied one, Israel is not allowed to move its citizens to the occupied area or implement their national laws there.

However, more than 750,000 Israeli settles live in illegal settlements in the West Bank, and many have forged property works to provide a veneer of validity to seize Palestinian houses.

It is one of many strategies that use state-supported settled analysts, Palestinians and local rights groups to uproot the Palestinians.

Settlers – Israeli’s supported by the state – also vandalism in homes, set up posts, attacks farmers, destroy crops and steal livestock under the supervision of Israel’s army.

About half of this land has been confiscated since the most recent government of Israel in December 2022, marking a serious growth.

A Palestinian farmer who was a Palestinian farmer who did not disclose his last name, said that the settlers often try to take the farm in their village in the east of Ramallah.

He said that the settlers often vandalism of crops and prevent Palestinians from taking them to their land.

Palestinians often abandon their livelihood after the settlers facing constant hazards and attacks, which are often protected by the Israeli army.

“To protect their families, they have to leave the region. Many of them have children who need to protect them, but they lose their main source of income. [from farming] When they leave, Mardi explained.

“The settlers are trying to occupy our land,” Lith said. “When the army is present with armed settlers, it means it is not easy. It is not easy for us to protest.”

‘Animals have more rights than us’

The administration of the United States President Donald Trump has further enhanced the settling agitation of Israel, said Omar Rahman said, “Israel-Filistine expert Omar Rahman said with the Middle East Council on global affairs.”

Rahman insisted that when they attack Palestinians and steal their land, Trump has given up any excuse to support human rights globally or support aspirations for an independent Palestinian state.

“The second aspect is that Trump is surrounded by those who are not only supporters of Israel, but ‘Greater Israel’. This means that they believe that land is from brotherhood [exclusively] For Israelis, “Rahman told Al Jazeera.

After inaugurating Trump on 20 January, he quickly signed an executive order to sign an executive order, which previous administration considered “extremists” and responsible for reducing the two-state solution.

The order was issued that a day later a temporary ceasefire Gaza strip to be implemented in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations experts and legal scholars say there is a campaign of Israeli massacre against the Palestinians.

The next day, the attacks in the West Bank increased.

Palestinians expelled from their homes or uproot from their fields, roam in nearby villages or transfer to urban centers which are under the unstable control of Palestinian Authority, are engaged in safety cooperation with West Bank’s major cities and safety cooperation with Israel.

Lith said five or six families have moved to their village when they expelled him from their fields – after 7 October, 2023, the day the Gaza war began.

He promised to never leave his village despite the growing fear of the settling attacks and what he saw as a western indifference to the Palestinians and their plight.

“Nobody cares about human rights. Human rights is just a big lie,” he told Al Jazira.

“Animals have more rights than us.”
