Welcome to the Sunday Recap!

In a major report this week, Oren Ziv wrote about several Palestinian communities between occupied Ramallah and Jericho that have been chased off their land by state-backed settler violence — a near-complete ethnic cleansing that paves the way for an Israeli takeover of thousands of acres of the West Bank.

Tash Lever reported on one of the last Palestinian communities still standing in that region, Ein al-Rashrash, whose residents are calling on activists to help deter rising settler violence that has forced their neighbors to flee. Meanwhile, in the South Hebron Hills, Imad Abu Hawash wrote about an Israeli settler attack that burned 20 beehives belonging a Palestinian beekeeper — violence that has frightened other residents into leaving their land.

Hamza Ali Shah recounted how, from the Jordan crossing to the Jerusalem checkpoint, his return to Palestine for the first time in years was marred by the daily humiliations of life under Israeli occupation. And Samah Salaime spent 36 hours in the besieged Gaza Strip, where she witnessed an electricity company overcharging for little power, class gaps, struggles to find work, and a seaside restricted by a decade and a half of blockade.
