The Israeli authorities are directly involved in violent attacks by settlers in the West Bank that have killed, injured and displaced Palestinians, said a report released by the Untied Nations (UN) on Tuesday.

The Israeli government's judicial and law enforcement agencies not only failed to punish settlers who carried out violent attacks, but also provided them with financial and military support for their acts of violence, according to the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel.

The report warned that settler attacks continue to rise in the West Bank, with at least seven Palestinians killed and 832 injured last year, a 130 percent increase over 2024.

It found that the Israeli authorities are directly involved in settler attacks through  financial and military support and by granting impunity from prosecution.
