A recent report from Human Rights Watch found that many Palestinian workers in settlements were making around £2 an hour, around half of Israel’s minimum wage.

Twenty-five Israelis and one United States citizen have been killed in four months of violence, along with at least 148 Palestinians, 94 of whom Israel has described as assailants.
Israeli officials would not name or in any other way identify the suspect, although Palestinian news sites ran what they said was his picture and name.
The report said Israeli businesses have a larger impact on the West Bank than the actual settlements, operating in around 20 industrial zones that heavily use natural resources like land, water and minerals, diverting them from Palestinians in the West Bank. Army strategists expect Iran to observe the terms of the nuclear agreement for several years while increasing its support for Lebanese and Palestinian groups fighting Israel, he said. Mustafa was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Jerusalem, Oct. 12, 2015, after a stabbing attempt on border police officers, Israeli police said.
The prime minister said: “Whoever wants to see the truth about the roots of the conflict between us and the Palestinians should come to Otniel and see here a wonderful family who only wants coexistence and peace”.
The BBC also failed to report many prominent details regarding the brutality of the attack.
“Too many attacks on Palestinians lack a vigorous investigation or response by Israeli authorities, too much vigilantism goes unchecked”, Shapiro said, as reported by The Guardian.
In the West Bank, Israelis are subject to Israeli civil law, while Palestinians are governed by Israeli military law, which offers far fewer legal protections.
The ambassador added the U.S. administration remains “perplexed” due to the current administration’s “settlement policy” and warned there must be an implementation of the “two-state solution” to prevent a binational state. The “situation” would be “reviewed on a daily basis”, the spokesperson said according to Ma’an.
The U.S. envoy also accused Israel of turning a blind eye to settlers’ violence against Palestinians, saying the Jewish state employs two sets of rules for Israelis and Palestinians.
Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian teenager from a nearby village in connection with the stabbing attack, they announced on Tuesday.
“Israel applies the law to Israelis and Palestinians”.

HRW recommend states to “avoid offsetting the costs of Israeli government expenditures on settlements by withholding funding given to the Israeli government in an amount equivalent to its expenditures on settlements and related infrastructure in the West Bank”.
