British MP Visits Occupied West Bank, Documents Settler Attacks

A British member of parliament recently visited the occupied West Bank, where they documented over 260 settler attacks in October 2025. The attacks resulted in Palestinian casualties or property damage, including vehicle torched, agricultural workers assaulted, and olive trees burned.

According to the United Nations, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed more than 1,040 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023, including 229 children. In early 2025, an estimated 40,000 people were forcibly displaced by the Israeli army’s “Iron Wall” Operation in the northern West Bank.

The MP traveled from Jerusalem to the northern town of Tulkarem, where they met with youth leaders who described how Israeli bulldozers destroyed their roads and infrastructure. The MP also visited a six-bedroom property housing about 50 refugees displaced from two refugee camps in the area.

During their visit, the MP witnessed firsthand the effects of settler violence on Palestinians. They saw roads damaged by Israeli bulldozers and properties repeatedly raided by authorities. A 17-year-old refugee recounted his experience of being thrown into a ditch and attacked by an Israeli military dog.

The UN’s log of settler attacks in October 2025 suggests that the situation has grown more acute since the MP’s visit to the West Bank in April. The MP’s government has taken no robust action to stop the violence.

Critics have noted that the MP’s account conflates Israeli army violence with settler violence, but the MP maintains that the two are inseparable. They observed settlers and soldiers together on multiple occasions, highlighting the blurred lines between the two groups.

The visit coincided with reports of extrajudicial executions in Jenin, where two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces. Despite these incidents, the UK government has not taken decisive action to address the situation.
