Senior Palestinian official Jibril Rajoub has cautioned that the West Bank is nearing a breaking point, warning of a potential “explosion” due to escalating tensions. This warning comes as United Nations rights experts are urging Israel to safeguard Palestinian farmers from attacks by settlers during the crucial olive harvest season. Rajoub simultaneously called for a "peaceful, nonviolent struggle" to address the increasingly fraught situation in the region. The UN experts expressed concern over a rise in settler violence, which has reportedly disrupted the olive harvest, a vital source of livelihood for many Palestinian families. These attacks threaten not only the economic well-being of Palestinians but also their access to land. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges to stability and peaceful coexistence in the West Bank. International attention is now focused on Israel’s response to these demands for protection and de-escalation.
