In the west bank, in direct violation of international law that protects Palestinian territory, Israeli soldiers and settlers have have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians, including over 230 children since October 2023. During that period, They have demolished more than 6,000 Palestinian homes and established more than 200 new illegal settlements and outposts in Palestinian territory. And this has been carried out not just by extremist settlers. This is Israeli government policy. Netanyahu's security cabinet has approved the most sweeping changes to the West Bank's legal status since 1967, removing nearly all constraints on settlement expansion. (02:46–02:59)
