Briefing on UN Human Rights High Commissioner's report on Israeli settlements Remarks by Ajith Sunghay, Head of UN Human Rights in Occupied Palestinian Territory (OHCHR OPT)

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Please refer to the attached files. Since the end of the period covered by this report, the pace of the concerted efforts by the Israeli government to seize as much Palestinian land as possible, with as few Palestinians in it as possible, is only becoming more relentless. To this end, Palestinians are pushed out of their homes and off their lands every day, to make room for more expansion of illegal settlements.
