The Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an official statement, expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the escalating wave of attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian citizens in villages and towns of the occupied West Bank. Sources confirmed that these attacks, targeting lives and property, represent a dangerous escalation coinciding with intensive military campaigns launched by the occupation army, including widespread raids and arrests.
The Algerian Foreign Ministry stressed that the settlers' practices, based on systematic intimidation, primarily aim to entrench the policy of settlement expansion at the expense of Palestinian lands. It clarified that this behavior constitutes a blatant violation of all international conventions and United Nations resolutions, and directly undermines any future opportunities to revive the peace process or implement the internationally agreed-upon two-state solution.
Algeria reiterated in its statement its historical and firm stance supporting the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, which are non-negotiable and cannot be relinquished under any pressure. It indicated that the right of Palestinians to establish their fully sovereign independent state with Jerusalem as its capital remains a top priority for Algerian diplomacy in regional and international forums.
The Algerian authorities issued an urgent appeal to the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and act immediately to put a definitive end to these repeated attacks. It demanded the provision of necessary protection for Palestinian civilians who face the machinery of settler violence supported by military protection, warning that continued international silence encourages the occupation to persist in its violations.
This diplomatic stance comes amid alarming field reports indicating that settler violence in the West Bank has reached historically unprecedented levels. Human rights and UN sources have documented a sharp increase in the pace of organized attacks targeting isolated Palestinian population centers, leading to the creation of an environment hostile to the indigenous population under constant threat.
In a related context, data released by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs revealed that this year has seen the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in various areas of the West Bank due to settler terrorism. Reports clarified that severe restrictions on movement and access to natural resources have caused a severe deterioration in living conditions, forcing families to forcibly leave their lands.
UN bodies warned of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the continuation of these conditions, noting that the absence of accountability for the perpetrators of these crimes leads to an exacerbation of instability. Sources confirm that the situation in the West Bank now requires international intervention that goes beyond traditional condemnation statements towards practical steps that ensure an end to forced displacement and the protection of Palestinian presence.
Algeria considers these practices based on violence and intimidation as an entrenchment of the settlement expansion policy and an undermining of peace efforts.
