Israeli Settlers Ramp Up Attacks in Occupied West Bank; U.K. Resumes UNRWA Funding

HeadlineJul 19, 2024

In the occupied West Bank, local news is reporting illegal Israeli settlers have attacked multiple Palestinian towns, including Beit Jala, where settlers stormed a school and raised Israeli flags. Israeli forces and settlers have stepped up their attacks on the occupied West Bank since October 7, killing over 500 Palestinians.

Meanwhile, the U.K. announced it is resuming funding to UNRWA. Britain’s new foreign minister, David Lammy, said the U.K. will provide 21 million pounds to the agency. Britain joined the U.S. and others in pausing its funding in January after Israel made unsubstantiated claims that UNRWA staffers were involved in October 7 attacks by Hamas.
