MPs report witnessing armed intimidation by Israeli settlers in West Bank

Sir Edward Leigh and Uma Kumaran were among those to recount their experiences.



UK MPs, including Sir Edward Leigh and Uma Kumaran, reported witnessing Israeli settlers in the West Bank armed with submachine guns, acts described as intimidating. They noted the deployment of Israeli tanks near Jenin, a rare occurrence since 2002, amid rising settler violence against Palestinians. Israeli officials stated that military activity was heightened to counter terrorism in refugee camps. The MPs highlighted the impact on Palestinian communities, including damaged villages and extensive checkpoints, and emphasized the need for a political process toward a two-state solution.
