Ramiz Alakbarov<\/a>, Acting Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace<\/a> Process and U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, told a Security Council briefing Monday that the situation nearly 10 years after the adoption of Resolution 2334 was \u201cmorally, legally and politically unacceptable.\u201d
\u00a0
The 2016 resolution calls on Israel to immediately and completely cease all settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and fully respect its legal obligations.
\u00a0
Alakbarov called for continued efforts to end Israel\u2019s unlawful occupation and reach a settlement based on international law and U.N. resolutions. He said the New York Declaration, endorsed by the General Assembly, together with existing Security Council resolutions, provides a political vision and coordinated international effort to advance the two-state solution.<\/p>\n
\u00a0
Alakbarov said settlement expansion, violence and displacement continued in the occupied West Bank, while the ceasefire in Gaza remained fragile.
\u00a0
During the June 13-Sept. 18 reporting period, Israeli planning authorities advanced or approved nearly 4,570 housing units in Area C of the occupied West Bank and 3,515 in East Jerusalem. Israel\u2019s Housing Ministry published tenders for nearly 2,240 units in Area C, including 1,234 in the E1 area near Jerusalem.
\u00a0
Alakbarov said the Israeli military issued an order to seize privately owned land in Area A near Qabatiya, south of Jenin, to build a road linking the Noa and Emek Dotan settlements, two of 34 settlements recently approved.
\u00a0
He described it as the first reported seizure of Area A land explicitly for settlement infrastructure and noted continued evictions of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem.
\u00a0
Settler violence reaches \u201cunprecedented levels\u201d<\/strong>
\u00a0
Alakbarov said settler violence in the West Bank had reached \u201cunprecedented levels,\u201d often occurring in the presence of Israeli forces.
\u00a0
According to the U.N. report, 32 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed during Israeli military operations, exchanges of fire, settler attacks and other incidents. Three were killed in airstrikes and 29 by live ammunition.
\u00a0
Settlement expansion and settler violenceThe United Nations documented 630 settler attacks resulting in casualties or property damage. Eleven Palestinians were killed and 430 were injured during the reporting period, including 113 injured by Israeli forces, while 343 Palestinians were displaced from 17 communities.
\u00a0
Warning over forcible transfer<\/strong>
\u00a0
Alakbarov condemned continued Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, saying it fuels tensions, restricts Palestinians\u2019 access to their land and threatens the viability of an independent, sovereign and territorially contiguous Palestinian state.
\u00a0
He expressed concern over the demolition and seizure of Palestinian civilian structures, warning that such measures could involve human rights violations and raise concerns about the risk of forcible transfer. He called on Israel to stop unlawful demolitions of Palestinian-owned civilian structures and comply with international law. Alakbarov expressed deep concern over the scale of Palestinian displacement in the West Bank, noting that entire communities had been displaced, in some cases more than once. He warned that such displacement could raise concerns about ethnic cleansing and could amount to forcible transfer prohibited under international law.<\/p>\n
