Al Jazeera analysis indicates that human rights organizations warn that Israeli settler and state-led violence aims to expel Palestinians and annex land in the occupied West Bank. Although the Israeli government has condemned the actions of settlers, analysts, activists, and Israeli lawmakers express distrust, pointing to the Israeli army's failure to prevent sieges and accusations that the government provides support and protection to settlers. Monitoring by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs shows that settler violence incidents are increasing weekly as Israel's October elections approach, with the UN previously warning that the West Bank has reached a "breaking point."
