Israel has approved a settlement plan to seize 35 dunams of land from Kafr Qaddum, aiming to build 58 new settler units in Mitzpe Yeshai, despite UN claims that such settlements are illegal and threaten a two-state solution. Since October 2023, Israeli forces have conducted over 38,000 attacks in the West Bank, resulting in significant Palestinian casualties and displacement, further complicating prospects for peace.
