Palestinian citizens in Al-Walaja village, southwest of Jerusalem, are facing growing fears of displacement as Israeli authorities have issued dozens of demolitions and stop-work orders targeting homes and other structures.
In June and July, 120 demolition notices and 74 stop-work orders were issued, while the village’s only school, operated by UNRWA, has also received a demolition notice.
The village has lost much of its land since 1967 and is increasingly surrounded by settlements and military roads, raising concerns that continued restrictions and demolitions could push for enforced displacement.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says an international protection presence in the occupied West Bank, occupied East Jerusalem and Gaza is “absolutely urgent.”
Albanese stressed that third states have an obligation, under the International Court of Justice (ICJ), to act to end Israel’s unlawful occupation, and called on the UN Secretary-General and General Assembly to overcome the paralysis of the UN Security Council through the “Uniting for Peace” mechanism.
The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that the occupied West Bank now has 592 Israeli settlements and outposts, with around 780,000 Israeli settlers living there, including occupied East Jerusalem.
Israel controls approximately 42% of the West Bank, including 71% of Area C and up to 91% of the Jordan Valley. In these areas, there are 192 settlements and 400 outposts, of which 231 are pastoral outposts.
The commission says settlement expansion, new roads, military attacks, and movement restrictions have continued to intensify since October 2023, and describes these measures as an ongoing expansion of Israeli control over Palestinian land.
