B'Tselem בצלם : Since Oct. 7, Israel has ramped up efforts to drive Palestinian shepherding communities out of the Jordan Valley.
A new report by B’Tselem details how Israel is increasing its efforts to drive dozens of Palestinian shepherding communities in the northern Jordan Valley out of their homes and lands. Through cooperation and collaboration among the military, police, settlers and the Jordan Valley Regional Council, Israel has reduced the pastureland available to Palestinians, blocked regular water supply and taken measures to isolate the Jordan Valley from the rest of the West Bank.
Israel’s pressure is designed to destabilize the economic foundation of these pastoral communities and push the Palestinian population out of the Jordan Valley, with the ultimate goal of perpetuating the apartheid regime in this geographical area and freeing Israel to use the land for its own interests.
