Jibril Rajoub, a senior Palestinian official, has warned that the West Bank is approaching a critical breaking point, calling for ‘peaceful, nonviolent struggle’ amid escalating tensions. The warning comes as UN rights experts have demanded that Israel take measures to protect Palestinian farmers from settler attacks during the olive harvest season.

The statement reflects growing concerns about the security situation in the West Bank, where friction between Israeli settlers and Palestinian communities has intensified. Rajoub’s appeal for non-violent resistance suggests Palestinian leadership is attempting to manage rising tensions through diplomatic means rather than confrontation.

The olive harvest period has historically been a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian clashes, with previous years seeing significant incidents during this agricultural season. UN experts have highlighted the vulnerability of Palestinian farmers during harvest operations and the need for international oversight to prevent violence.
