Israeli settlers intensify violent campaign to drive out West Bank Palestinians | BBC News
Since the October 7th attacks by Hamas, Israeli pressure on Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank has risen sharply. Settler attacks on Palestinian communities have increased and Israeli military raids have displaced thousands of people. The Israeli government justifies what is taking place as legitimate security measures to counter what it describes as Palestinian terrorism.
There’s also been an acceleration in the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law. Evidence based on statements by Israeli ministers and influential settler leaders suggest a deliberate agenda, to expand Jewish settlements in the occupied territories and extinguish lingering hopes of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Palestinians and human rights groups accuse the Israeli security forces of failing in their legal duty as occupiers to protect Palestinians as well as their own citizens – not just turning a blind eye to settler attacks, but even joining in.
The International Court of Justice has issued an advisory opinion that the entire occupation of Palestinian territory captured in 1967 is illegal. Israel’s rejects the ICJ’s view and claims that the Geneva Conventions forbidding settlement in occupied territories do not apply. That’s disputed by many of its own allies as well as international lawyers.

US President Donald Trump has asked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White to be White House press secretary, in a social media post.
“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dana, please take the job!”
It’s unclear whether the president’s public job offer is genuine. The BBC has asked the White House and UFC, along with its parent company TKO Group Holdings, for comment.
The vacancy for White House press secretary has been open since mid-October, when Katie Zacharia exited after just a few days on the job.

The Democrats have won a blowout victory in the US midterm elections, winning the Senate and the House of Representatives, taking control of Congress for the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency.
In the Senate race, Republican strongholds have been toppled by the Democrats in Texas, Ohio and Kansas, which last elected a Democrat almost 100 years ago.
Trump has congratulated the Democrats on a “good job” and acknowledged that gas prices hurt Republicans during the midterm races, saying people “didn’t like it” when they had to pay more for fuel.
The midterm elections happen mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle, giving Americans the chance to elect members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Here is how the night unfolded.
