Palestinian herding communities

A High Court petition from 7 northern Jordan Valley villages in the West Bank claims Palestinian herding communities face extremist settler violence, restricted water access, and pasture limitations, which they argue amount to ethnic cleansing and imminent displacement. The petition demands legal protection for these communities.

Amnesty International accuses Israel of committing 'state-led' ethnic cleansing in the West Bank by targeting Bedouin and Palestinian herding communities through routine violence. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have rejected these allegations, calling the claims false.
