The Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights said on Tuesday that a group of settlers had established a new settlement outpost on land belonging to the town of Salem, east of the city of Nablus, in the northern West Bank.
The organization explained in a statement that settlers had erected several caravans and mobile homes on private agricultural land, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, and had begun bulldozing and preparing infrastructure with the aim of establishing a permanent settlement presence at the site.
She noted that the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recorded the establishment of 23 new settlement outposts across the West Bank during the first half of 2025.
Al-Baidar Organization emphasized that the establishment of these outposts constitutes a clear violation of international law and a direct assault on Palestinian rights and lands, warning of an escalation of these violations in the absence of accountability.
She added that this step is part of a systematic policy to expand settlements and impose a fait accompli on the ground.
The organization called on the international community to take urgent action to halt these practices, which threaten to further fuel tension and instability in the region.
She explained that most of these settlement outposts, particularly the pastoral ones, are spread across the governorates of Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Qalqilya, Tubas, and Jerusalem, in continuation of the settlers' policy of imposing facts on the ground with the full support of the occupation army.
