Jordan Valley

The Jordan Valley, located in the northeastern occupied West Bank, is experiencing increased tensions and displacement of Palestinian communities due to escalating Israeli settler violence. This region is newsworthy due to a significant rise in settler attacks and forced displacement since October 2023, with January 2026 seeing the highest displacement numbers. Recent events include the forced removal of entire herding communities and the displacement of 15 families who were compelled to dismantle their homes by settlers. The Israeli government's approval of gun licenses for settlers in illegal settlements further exacerbates the situation. The ongoing violence and displacement raise concerns about the future of Palestinian communities in the Jordan Valley and its impact on the two-state solution, highlighting the region's current relevance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
