History

Historical Context

Israeli demolitions in the West Bank echo a long history of conflict over land and resources. Since the 1967 occupation, Israel has systematically demolished Palestinian homes, often citing permit issues, which are nearly impossible for Palestinians to obtain. This pattern intensified after the Oslo Accords, leading to increased violence and displacement, as seen in the recent surge of attacks in April 2024, which reflects ongoing tensions and unresolved grievances.
