Palestinians in West Bank on course for deadliest year on record, UN says

LONDON, 02 November 2022, (TON): The organization’s Security Council has been told “Palestinians in the occupied West Bank will likely suffer their deadliest year since the UN began tracking violence.”

Middle East Peace Process Coordinator Tor Wennesland told the council’s quarterly open debate that increased Israeli military operations were a major factor in the escalation, although attacks by settlers had also increased.

The UN’s latest figures show that at least 101 Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have been killed by Israeli security forces this year, which is the highest monthly average since records began in 2005.
