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.

An endangered Indochinese gray langur has been captured on infrared camera in a nature reserve in southwest China's Yunnan Province, highlighting continued improvement in the area's biodiversity and conservation efforts.
Reserve staff recently discovered the footage while reviewing camera-trap data collected in a provincial nature reserve in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County, Pu'er City.
The video shows the langur climbing onto vine-covered branches with its long tail hanging below before pausing to scan its surroundings. After confirming the area was safe, the animal relaxed and remained perched in the forest canopy.
The Indochinese gray langur is listed as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List and is under China's first-class state protection.
Local authorities say strengthened habitat protection and management in recent years have steadily improved the local ecological environment. In addition to the rare langur, other protected wildlife, such as slow lorises, silver pheasants and red junglefowl, have also been recorded in the reserve, reflecting the recovery of local biodiversity.
