Ever since the October 7 attacks by Hamas militants in southern Israel, there’s been mounting violence in the occupied West Bank. More than 160 Palestinians have been killed there in the past month, either in army raids or in attacks by illegal Israeli settlers. US President Joe Biden has spoken out on the sharp rise in settler attacks saying that violence by “extremist settlers … has to stop now”. The attacks are driving some Palestinians from their homes and off their farmland, bringing this tense region to boiling point. FRANCE 24’s Catherine Norris Trent, Cécile Galluccio and Raïd Abu Zaideh sent this report.
