Jerusalem: The Government Communication Center at the Prime Minister's Office highlighted in its weekly situation report the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression, mass displacement in the West Bank, and the devastating toll on Palestinian women amid worsening humanitarian conditions.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the report highlighted several critical updates. Human rights experts condemned the Israeli decision to re-open 'gates of hell' and unilaterally alter the conditions of a truce deal, warning that Israel is weaponizing starvation as supplies run critically low. The World Food Programme (WFP) reported it only has enough food supplies in the Gaza Strip to keep public kitchens open for less than two weeks.
A new report marking International Women's Day reveals a catastrophic impact, with 12,298 women killed in Gaza due to Israeli aggression and 928 Palestinians, including women and children, killed in the West Bank since October 2023. Furthermore, 21 Palestinian women remain in Israeli detention, including a pregnant woman, two children, and several teachers and ill prisoners.
UNRWA Chief Philippe Lazzarini described the Israeli aggression against the northern West Bank as 'the single-longest and most destructive since the second intifada, resulting in the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank since the 1967 war. At least 40,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams.
Israeli occupation forces have displaced 90% of Jenin refugee camp's population, cutting off food and essential supplies, and banning calls to prayer during Ramadan. Schools remain closed, affecting 2,000 students, and more than 500 homes and facilities have been damaged. The aggression has persisted for over 49 days against Jenin City, 43 days against Tulkarm, and 30 days against Nour Shams.
A Peace Now report reveals intensified Israeli annexation efforts, with 9,884 settlement units advanced in 2024 and plans to advance another 1,408 units this month. Settler violence has reached unprecedented levels, with 1,400 attacks recorded last year.
The Cairo Summit reaffirmed its absolute rejection of forced displacement and annexation, endorsing the Gaza reconstruction plan presented by Egypt. The summit called for the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement and an end to Israeli aggression on the occupied West Bank.
