PRESS RELEASE?OF THE BUREAU OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S COMMITTEE ON THE EXERCISE OF THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE??

UN Palestinian Rights Committee Bureau?condemns the?order to?implement?the?eviction of Khan?al-Ahmar community?in the?occupied?West Bank?

New York,?4?June 2026?–The Bureau of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People condemns the order signed by the Minister of Finance of Israel, Bezalel Smotrich, instructing the Israeli Civil Administration to begin proceeding with the eviction of the Palestinian community of Khan al-Ahmar in the so-called “E1 area” in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The eviction will heighten the risk of forced transfer of the civilian population, which is strictly prohibited under international law and amounts to a war crime.??

The Committee Bureau?reiterates its demand that Israel, the occupying Power, halt its so-called “E1 settlement plan” in the occupied West Bank, which includes the approval of plans for thousands of Israeli settlements units. The plan entrenches Israel’s illegal occupation, advances annexation, unlawful under international law, and violates the integrity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory as an essential element of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, as concluded by the?International?Court?of Justice.?It?should?be recalled that?in multiple?resolutions?the General Assembly?has?stressed?the?need for?the?respect for and preservation of the territorial unity, contiguity and integrity of all of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.?

The Committee Bureau?denounces the?escalating?Israeli?settler?violence?and?impunity,?in which this order and the?settlement?expansion is taking place.?This is?Israel’s?deliberate?and unlawful?policy?of?terror?to?consolidate?a system of?discrimination and domination. These acts?perpetuate the?Nakba of the Palestinian people?to this day.?

The Committee Bureau urges the?State of Israel?to?immediately?cease?all?illegal?settlement activities?in the?occupied?West Bank, including East Jerusalem,?and?to halt?all acts?of violence against?Palestinians.?The?Committee Bureau?calls?on?the international community?to take?concrete?actions and?steps to?ensure compliance by Israel with?its international obligations, including relevant UN resolutions.
