    tl;dr:

    ‘I have seen and heard compelling evidence of a one-state reality, with systemic impunity for violators of international law and human rights’. There has been an upsurge in violence in the occupied West Bank in the past year, with scores of Palestinians shot dead, frequent Israeli military raids, and regular attacks by settlers on Palestinian towns and villages. On Tuesday night, Israeli settlers rampaged through several Palestinian towns in the West Bank, torching cars, setting farmland on fire, and vandalising homes following the fatal shooting of four Israeli settlers by Palestinian gunmen. Since Israel conquered the West Bank in 1967, the Palestinian territory had been under military rule. In February Israel transferred much of the administration of the region to Smotrich, including enforcement powers over land allocation and authority over planning and construction for Jewish settlements, which are illegal under international law.
