States must act as Israeli state-driven settler violence escalates at the start of Palestinian olive harvest
Responding to the latest acts of state-driven Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank over the weekend, which also targeted a delegation of European diplomats and a Washington Post photojournalist, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Heba Morayef, said:
“Once again, Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for Palestinian families across the occupied West Bank. State-driven attacks by settlers on farmers that damage, destroy and steal crops, combined with Israeli military restrictions on access to groves, are causing immense suffering and economic loss for Palestinians.

Israeli settlers attack West Bank olive harvesters and set vehicles on fire
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting olives in Turmus Ayya, in the occupied West Bank, on Friday, setting fire to cars and damaging property. Israel has imposed new rules on the olive harvest this year, prohibiting Palestinians from working in what’s known as Area C, which is under Israeli security control and encompasses the majority of the territory’s agricultural land. At least four Palestinians have been killed and more than 100 injured since the harvest season began earlier this month, according to Palestinian officials. (Production by Jalal Bwaitel)
