Paper released as West Bank sees escalations in Israeli military and settler violence.

A dramatic rise in Israeli military violence has caused the largest forced displacement in the West Bank since the illegal Israeli occupation began. As the ‘Gazafication’ of the West Bank unfolds, vital humanitarian work and projects are being delayed or destroyed, Oxfam warned today.  

A year after all 27 EU countries committed to challenging settlement expansion, forced displacement, and demolition of Palestinian property in an unprecedented Foreign Affairs Council statement, approvals for illegal settlements have increased.

The annual EU-Israel Association Council meeting, the highest political forum between both sides, took place in Brussels today.
