Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International's Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, warned that masked Israeli settlers are attacking Palestinian farmers as the annual olive harvest season begins. She stated that settlers are "attacking farmers, burning trees, stealing livelihoods and terrorizing entire communities," with even diplomats and journalists being targeted. Guevara Rosas called on the international community to reject the narrative that "these are the actions of a few extremists" and urged states to take concrete measures, including banning settlement trade, implementing targeted sanctions, halting arms transfers, and supporting international justice.
