The Balfour Project and Sadaka, the Ireland Palestine Alliance, jointly presented this webinar yesterday.

While the world's attention is on the Gaza war, very bad things are happening fast in the West Bank.

Susan Power, Head of Legal Research and Advocacy at Al-Haq in Ramallah, analysed the Israeli lockdown of the West Bank and the licence given to settler violence and forced displacement of Palestinians from their lands.

Mr Owda Hathaleen gave an eye witness account of the pressures being brought to bear on the villagers of Masafer Yatta to abandon their homes and livelihoods. They recommended actions to safeguard lives and people's futures.

Owda Hathaleen, from Umm Al-Khair village, Masafer Yatta, a human rights activist, writer and an English teacher. Dr Susan Power is Head of Legal Research and Advocacy at Al-Haq, Law in the Service of Man.
