The Elders, a group of prominent public figures, concluded after visiting the West Bank that Israel is attempting to "make Palestine disappear physically, economically, culturally and politically." Mary Robinson, a member of the group and former President of Ireland, stated that they were "shocked" by the deterioration of the situation since 2023, noting that the Israeli government grants "complete impunity" to settlers and soldiers for their actions in seizing land and disrupting Palestinian life.
