In the occupied West Bank, dozens of Israeli settlers attacked a village in the northern part of the territory on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, to prevent a Palestinian family from returning. According to information presented by RFI, this incident is part of a pattern of repeated attacks and international criticism of settler violence. Settlement activity is also at the heart of a political debate in the lead-up to the Israeli legislative elections.
A family prevented from returning
The targeted family had been forced to leave the area two months earlier, according to the program summary. The village is not named in the available information. The report also does not specify the outcome of the attack or the immediate aftermath of the settlers’ intervention.
The program discusses daily attacks in several areas of the occupied West Bank and increasing international criticism of the violence perpetrated by settlers. Its title highlights the alleged protection afforded by the army to the most extremist settlers, according to the interview. However, the information provided does not detail the specific facts used to support this claim.
A colonization project postponed before the elections
The timeline for a vast settlement project is also being discussed. The Israeli courts have ordered a one-month postponement of the deadline for a tender related to the project. According to RFI’s summary, this delay is intended to prevent the issue from disrupting the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27.
The interview broadcast by RFI focuses on this violence and the acceleration of colonization in the lead-up to the election. The guest is François Dubuisson, professor of international law at the Free University of Brussels. Available information does not provide further details on his analysis or the legal arguments discussed during the interview.
