Israel expanded settlements across the occupied West Bank and displaced more than 36,000 Palestinians over the past year, according to a United Nations report that cites rising violence and land seizures. A report by the UN Human Rights Office states that Israeli authorities accelerated settlement growth and annexation across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, during the 12 months to 31 October 2025. It links the expansion to forced displacement and a rise in attacks by settlers and security forces.
