According to the United Nations, more than 11,000 Palestinians in Brook and Kafr Ant Dick are excluded. By 19 May, 28 settlers of settlers had led to injuries or destruction of property. Last year, 1,449 settlement attacks – the highest number for 20 years were recorded.

Many leading Netanyahu government ministers have openly called for the annexation of the West Bank and the displacement of a large number of Palestinian residents. The West Bank, which the Palestinians want as the central part of their state, along with Gaza and East Jerusalem, was occupied by the Israeli forces in 1967 and has remained under military occupation since then.

Most countries consider the settlements of Israeli settlements illegal, based on international law. Israel disagrees and invokes the historical and biblical bonds of the Jews with the region.
