UN warns of worst displacement crisis in occupied West Bank since 1967

A new United Nations report warns the occupied West Bank is facing its worst displacement crisis since 1967, driven by expanding illegal Israeli settlements and a sharp rise in settler violence.

The findings were presented to the UN Security Council, where most member states focused on the deteriorating situation in the occupied West Bank. France warned companies of the legal and reputational risks of involvement in settlement projects.

The United States shifted attention to Gaza, insisting that Hamas must be disarmed as part of any lasting peace agreement, highlighting divisions within the Security Council over priorities in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
