Role of the Palestinian Authority

PA conflict with militants during the Israel–Hamas war

The Palestinian Authority (PA), which is largely seen by Palestinians as ineffective and subjugated to the Israeli occupation,[345][346] has had a shared interest with Israel in suppressing militants even before the outbreak of the war.[347] Cooperation between the PA security forces and the IDF is reflected by the fact that the former have simply remained in their barracks during IDF raids[348][349] and have actively interfered with militants' defenses against those raids.[350][351][352][353]

The July 2024 West Bank unrest directed against the Palestinian Authority was a major escalation in its conflict with the militants,[354] sparked by the alleged arrest attempt of "Abu Shujaa", the leader of the Tulkarm Brigade, on 26 July. Protestors and militants clashed with security forces in Tulkarm,[355][356][357] Jenin,[358][359][360][361] Bethlehem,[362][363] Tubas,[362] and Nablus.[361] By August, the unrest had been "contained", according to Tulkarm officials.[364]

Since August, the rate of clashes between the militias and security forces has increased again, with notable fighting in the Jenin area throughout September[365][366][367][368] and in the Tubas area throughout October.[369][370][371][372][373]

Other incidents

There has been one case during the war where there was an incident between the IDF and the Palestinian Authority, that being the shooting death of a Palestinian Authority customs officer during an IDF raid into Tubas on 24 July 2024.[42][374]

In the aftermath of the 3 October 2024 Tulkarm Camp airstrike by Israel, Laith Jaar, an Al Jazeera journalist who was covering the bombing was assaulted by a security officer, who threatened to shoot him. Jaar was subsequently arrested and detained by the security forces,[375][376] and released a day later.[377]

On 29 October 2024, Israeli settlers carried out a shooting attack against PA security forces near the Havat Gilad settlement, injuring 2 officers; the IDF condemned the attack and began an investigation into it.[340]

Imprisonment and checkpoints

Freedom of movement

A report by B'Tselem found that the Israeli military had severely cracked down on Palestinians' freedom of movement, stating it was using "its network of checkpoints to tighten supervision, setting up dozens of new checkpoints, blocking access from dozens of villages to main roads, and revoking all permits for Palestinians to enter Israel for work or other reasons".[378]

The Palestinian Ministry of Education reported that due to the rise in Israeli raids and settler attacks, many schools across the West Bank had been forced to cease operations.[510]

Sanctions

On 30 January United States President Joe Biden signed an executive order which allowed the US to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers, with potential inclusion of Israeli politicians and government officials that were found to be involved with violent attack against Palestinians. Biden had earlier ordered the secretaries of state and treasury to prepare for the potential sanctions against Israeli individuals or entities that were involved in the violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.[511] Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to Biden's order, saying it was based on "an antisemitic lie".[512] Smotrich later stated, "We will not stand aside in the face of this injustice" and called for settlements to be "entrenched."[513][514] Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir praised the sanctioned settlers, calling them "heroic".[515] Netanyahu criticized the sanctions and called them unnecessary.[516] Following the U.S. sanctions, online fundraisers collected hundreds of thousands for the settlers.[517] In March 2024, the U.S. sanctioned three additional settlers and two settler outposts.[518]

Any intervention by you, directly or indirectly, violates the law... this should be stopped immediately".[531]

War crimes

During the war, the Israeli military was increasingly active in the West Bank. According to Amnesty International, Israel violated international humanitarian law by using disproportionate force during arrest raids, blocking medical assistance to people with life-threatening injuries, attacking paramedics, and conducting unlawful killings.[532] Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty's director of global research, stated, "These unlawful killings are in blatant violation of international human rights law and are committed with impunity".[533] Ben Saul, UN special rapporteur on human rights, stated that a November 2023 IDF killing of two boys appeared to be a war crime.[534] On 5 March 2024, the Palestinian Red Crescent stated that it had recorded 427 violations against its medical mission by Israel in the West Bank, terming these a violation of international humanitarian law.[535]

Israeli forces disguised as medical staff and civilians have shot dead three Palestinians inside a hospital in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. Hospital says the men were ‘assassinated’. Israel says they belonged to a ‘Hamas terrorist cell’.[536] The BBC called them "members of Palestinian armed groups".[537] But, even if they are militants, it is a war crime to gadget them when wounded, and a war crime to impersonate doctors in the process.[538] According to UN exports, the killing of three Palestinian men in a hospital in the occupied West Bank by Israeli commandos disguised as medical workers and Muslim women may amount to war crimes.[539]

Following the demolition of a Palestinian activist's family home in East Jerusalem — part of a broader wave of forced displacement in the West Bank[e] — the European Union External Action Service stated, "Such acts are in violation of International Humanitarian Law".[541] George Noll, head of the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs, condemned the demolition.[542] Following the Israeli approval of around 3,500 new illegal settlements in the West Bank, UN human rights chief Volker Türk stated the transfer of Israel's population into the occupied territories was a "war crime under international law".[543][544] Following the announcement that Israel was seizing 800 hectares of Palestinian land in the West Bank, the Federal Foreign Office stated, "The settlements violate international law and fuel further tensions in this extremely fragile situation."[545] French president Emmanuel Macron condemned the expanded settlements, stating they "are contrary to international law".[546]

BBC News reported in May 2024 that 11 soldiers of the Kfir Brigade (which is primarily active in the West Bank) posted on social media 45 photos and videos showing detained Palestinians; the Israeli Defence Forces did not respond when asked about the individual incidents or individual soldiers involved and identified, instead broadly stating: "In the event of unacceptable behavior, soldiers were disciplined and even suspended from reserve duty."[547] BBC News further reported that the soldiers did not obscure their identities, with some of them posting under names of Yohai Vazana, Ofer Bobrov, Sammy Ben, and Ori Dahbash.[547] According to BBC News, the "detained Palestinians are frequently shown blindfolded and restrained, having been forced to either lie on the floor, or squat, with their hands bound behind their backs", with some detainees being covered in Israeli flags.[547]

They must stop".[549] In May 2024, Human Rights Watch stated, "Israeli security forces... have been killing Palestinians without a legal basis in the West Bank, including deliberately executing Palestinians who posed no apparent threat".[550]

Triple assassination in a hospital

Israeli forces disguised as medical staff and civilians have shot dead three Palestinians inside a hospital in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. Hospital says the men were ‘assassinated’. Israel says they belonged to a ‘Hamas terrorist cell’.[551] The BBC called them "members of Palestinian armed groups".[552] But, even if they are militants, it is a war crime to gadget them when wounded, and a war crime to impersonate doctors in the process.[553] According to UN exports, the killing of three Palestinian men in a hospital in the occupied West Bank by Israeli commandos disguised as medical workers and Muslim women may amount to war crimes.[554]

Following the International Court of Justice's issuance of provisional measures in the South Africa v. Israel case, residents of the West Bank expressed disappointment it did not call for an immediate ceasefire, and expressed fear "the ruling in The Hague means Israeli army and settler violence in the occupied West Bank could get even worse".[563] On 4 February, an advocate at Al-Haq stated, "The international community has given Israel [the green light] to do as it wishes without any form of accountability."[564] Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Shtayyeh stated, "We are not very far from an explosion".[565]

At least not the one I grew up with in my father and mother’s house. This is not the way of the Torah."[576]

Volker Türk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated he was troubled by the use of military tactics, disproportionate force, and restrictions of movement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[577] A United Nations official stated a lack of accountability and "egging on from Israeli officials" was leading to a rise in settler violence.[578] Micheál Martin, the Irish deputy prime minister, stated what was happening in the West Bank was "shocking" and a violation of international humanitarian law.[579] On 18 January, OHCHR called for an independent probe into the growing number of "unlawful" killings in the West Bank.[580] On 19 January, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini warned the West Bank was witnessing its highest levels of violence in "a tragic cycle of pain and suffering".[581] Mustafa Barghouti stated on 20 January that Israeli settlers' aim was ethnic cleansing.[582] Al-Baidar Organisation for Defending Bedouin Rights, a Bedouin civil rights group, stated their communities were being subjected to ethnic cleansing and forced displacement by Israeli soldiers and settlers.[583] UNICEF reported on 28 January that children were living in "constant fear and grief".[584]

In June 2024, Volker Türk stated, "It is unfathomable that so many lives have been taken in such a wanton fashion."[585] Later the same month, Türk stated, "The situation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is dramatically deteriorating".[586]

On 2 September 2024, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, warned that "Israel's genocidal violence risks leaking out of Gaza and into the occupied Palestinian territory as a whole." She urged the international community, "made of both states and non-state actors, including companies and financial institutions", to "do everything it can to immediately end the risk of genocide against the Palestinian people under Israel’s occupation, ensure accountability and ultimately end Israel’s colonisation of Palestinian territory."[587]

International

German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock stated Israel had a responsibility to protect Palestinians in the West Bank.[588] Melani Cammett, an American political scientist, stated on 18 January that the intensification of fighting in the West Bank indicated the war "is nowhere near over".[589] On 18 January, Australian foreign minister Penny Wong visited the occupied West Bank, stating, "Australia is deeply concerned by ongoing settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank".[590] On 1 March, USAID director Samantha Power stated, "Repeated attacks by extremist Israeli settlers... sent shock waves of fear. This violence is intolerable and must stop."[591] On 12 March, the Government of Jordan condemned the killing of two of their citizens in the West Bank, stating a young man had been "injured in the leg and the occupation forces left him bleeding inside the ambulance for more than an hour and a half before he died".[592]
