Israel to Deport Activists Who Joined West Bank Olive Harvest in Solidarity with Palestinians

HeadlineOct 30, 2025

Israeli forces have intensified raids across the occupied West Bank, storming villages near Jenin and Ramallah. Separately, Israeli settlers stormed a Bedouin village east of Jerusalem, destroying Palestinian property and blocking roads. In another incident, Israeli settlers cut down hundreds of olive trees near Nablus. The settler attacks came as Israeli authorities said they would deport two Jewish women who recently joined Palestinians harvesting olives. In a statement, the group Rabbis for Human Rights said, “The decision to deport these volunteers reflects an alarming trend of silencing nonviolent human rights work and Jewish voices for justice in Israel-Palestine.”
