June Overview

More people were forcibly displaced in the West Bank in the first half of 2011 than in any other year since OCHA began recording demolitions in 2006. Most demolitions have taken take place in vulnerable Bedouin or herding communities in Area C, over 60 percent of the West Bank where Israel retains authority over law enforcement and control over the building and planning sphere. The Israeli Civil Administration (ICA) has heavily restricted Palestinian construction in Area C, providing plans for only one percent of the area, designating 70 percent largely for the use of Israeli settlements or for the Israeli military, and applying restrictive planning regulations in the remaining 29 percent. Combined, these restrictions make it virtually impossible for Palestinians to obtain building permits; conversely, the ICA has approved detailed plans for almost all Israeli settlements, thus allowing for their ongoing expansion, which is now continuing, since the end of the moratorium on settlement expansion in September 2010. Likewise, the approximately 100 settlement outposts in Area C, although have no approved detailed plans and, therefore, no building permits, rarely face the demolition of their ?illegal? structures by the ICA.

The presence of settlements and resulting displacement is also critical to another development this month. In June, the Israeli High Court of Justice rejected petitions, filed by Palestinians between 2004 and 2006, for the lifting of the severe access restrictions which the Israeli military has imposed on the centre of Hebron City, arguing that the current access restrictions remain necessary. These restrictions protect the Israeli settlements established in the Old City of Hebron, which also includes the main commercial centre and the Ibrahimi Mosque (Cave of the Patriarchs), as well as residential areas where some 35,000 Palestinians live. While Palestinian vehicular and pedestrian traffic is restricted, Israeli settlers are allowed to move about freely on foot and by vehicle in this area. Hundreds of Palestinian shops in the Old City have been closed by military orders. The extreme access restrictions, compounded by years of systematic harassment by Israeli settlers, have forced a significant part of the Palestinian population to relocate to other areas of the city: more than 1,000 homes are estimated to have been vacated by their former Palestinian residents, and over 1,800 commercial businesses have closed.
