Ramiz Alakbayov, Representative, told the Security Council he is "turning now to the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem," where he said settlement expansion, new outposts, violence, displacement and evictions "continue to escalate at alarming levels."

Alakbayov cited a spike in settler attacks during the olive harvest season, saying the UN recorded "the highest number of settler attacks from Palestinians since the UN monitoring began, an average of 8 per day," and described damage to livelihoods when olive trees were destroyed and farmers injured. He said such attacks "must stop" and that "concrete action is needed now to end the impunity for these crimes."

At the same time, he said Palestinian attacks, including a recent ramming and stabbing south of Jerusalem, "must also cease and be condemned," and urged political and community leaders to prevent incendiary rhetoric that fuels extremism. He called for accountability for all perpetrators and protection for Palestinian communities.

The briefing included a broader appeal that the political and security dimensions in the West Bank be addressed alongside humanitarian and reconstruction planning for Gaza, but no new measures or council decisions were announced in this session.
