West Bank: settlement expansion, violence & incitement fuel tensions - Briefing | United Nations

“In Gaza, delays in the implementation of UNSCR 2803, alongside daily violence and a continuing humanitarian crisis, have replaced the early momentum following the ceasefire,” the UN's Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process said. As the Security Council held its monthly briefing on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Ramiz Alakbarov said, “In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, settlement expansion, settler-related violence, and incitement continue to drive tensions. As talks on advancing to Phase II of the ceasefire continue, calls are emerging in some circles for a resumption of widespread hostilities.” Alakbarov also said, “As diplomatic efforts continue, people's lived reality in Gaza is marked by deep uncertainty. Israeli strikes continue on a nearly daily basis, killing dozens, alongside armed activity by Hamas and other Palestinian groups. Israeli authorities have said that strikes by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have targeted Hamas militants and related infrastructure. The Israeli Government said that it now controls 60 percent of Gaza, up from 52 percent since the ceasefire.” Turning to the West Bank again, he said, “Throughout the West Bank, the frequency and severity of settler attacks have significantly increased in 2026, with some 220 Palestinian communities having faced attacks, which are increasingly leading to the displacement of entire communities.”

At the thirteenth session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, global leaders and housing experts reflect on the growing pressures shaping the global housing crisis and the urgent need to rethink housing as a foundation for dignity, opportunity, and sustainable development. Dr. Koldo Casla (Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing), Xenya Scanlon (UNCCD), Thembisile Simelane (Minister of Human Settlements, South Africa), and Jonathan Reckford (Habitat for Humanity International) discuss the structural inequalities, environmental pressures, rapid urbanization, and governance challenges affecting cities and communities around the world.

"One civilian was killed every fourteen minutes in 2025" -Security Council Briefing | United Nations

A top UN humanitarian official said “Protecting civilians requires more than expressions of concern. It requires genuine commitment that translates into concrete action.” Addressing the Security Council, Edem Wosornu, Director of the Crisis Response Division of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that one civilian was killed approximately every fourteen minutes in 2025. These are only the deaths the United Nations could document across twenty armed conflicts. We know the real toll is far higher, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Sudan, in Ukraine, in the occupied Palestinian territory, and beyond. She said, “These patterns are the result of choices. The choice by parties to conflict to ignore their obligations to protect civilians, and too often, to target them. The choice by some to adopt increasingly permissive interpretations of international humanitarian law, hollowing out the very rules designed to protect civilians during war.” She also said, “There is another path. Other choices are possible. They must be made. They must be made because protecting civilians, ensuring respect for the law, and ending impunity is not only a legal and moral obligation. It is also in Member States’ shared interest. In a world where conflicts are rising and rearmament is accelerating; unrestrained force and unapologetic brutality do not make anyone safer. They put everyone at risk. Those who believe war will never reach them, their families, or their people are living in a dangerous illusion.”
