Reports indicate that Palestinian homes and businesses are increasingly being vacated and replaced by Israeli settlements.
The international community considers these settlements to be in violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions, as they are built on occupied Palestinian territories.
The United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council have consistently denounced Israel’s settlement activities through a series of resolutions.
In July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared that Israel’s long-standing occupation of historical Palestine is unlawful, mandating the removal of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
