About 12,360 settlement units have been approved in the occupied West Bank this year, while nearly 7,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from more than 260 communities, Palestinian Land Authority head Alaa Al-Tamimi said.

Speaking to broadcaster Cairo News on Tuesday evening, Tamimi said briefings given by UN envoy at the UN Security Council today were important in exposing what he described as Israeli crimes in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as ongoing crimes in the Gaza Strip.

He said that since the fragile ceasefire in Gaza came into effect, more than 1,200 Palestinians had been killed, including women and children, while Israeli bombardment and other attacks had continued.

“During 2026 alone, the establishment of 12,360 settlement units was announced,” he said.

Tamimi also described attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank as “settler terrorism”, saying their aim was to forcibly displace Palestinians from their communities.

“The number of Palestinian communities that have been displaced has risen to more than 260, with more than or nearly 7,000 Palestinians displaced during 2026,” he said.
