\n The United Nations\u2019 human rights chief said Friday that Israeli settlements in the West Bank have expanded by a record amount and risk eliminating any practical possibility of a Palestinian state, The Times of Israel reports.<\/div>\n
\n \u00a0<\/div>\n
\n The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said that the growth of Israeli settlements amounted to the transfer by Israel of its own population, which he reiterated was a war crime. The US Biden administration said last month the settlements were \u201cinconsistent\u201d with international law after Israel announced new housing plans in the West Bank.<\/div>\n
\n \u00a0<\/div>\n
\n \u201cSettler violence and settlement-related violations have reached shocking new levels, and risk eliminating any practical possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian State,\u201d Turk said in a statement accompanying the report which will be presented to the Human Rights Council in Geneva in late March.<\/div>\n
\n \u00a0<\/div>\n
\n The 16-page report, based on the UN\u2019s own monitoring as well as other sources, documented 24,300 new Israeli housing units in the West Bank during a one-year period through to the end of October 2023, which it said was the highest on record since monitoring began in 2017.<\/div>\n
\n \u00a0<\/div>\n
\n It also said there had been a dramatic increase in the intensity, severity and regularity of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank by both extremist settlers and the IDF, particularly since the deadly Hamas onslaught on Israel on October 7, which saw Hamas terrorists kill about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnap 253 others.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
