Hello everyone and welcome to Ammanpur. Here's what's coming up.

The extremist Israeli settlers accused of terrorizing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank.

We'll have a special report and Israel's closest allies voiced concerns about the

country's wartime conduct. Mark Gregev joins me, he's senior advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister.

Then, a look ahead at 2024 with the economist Tom Standage.

He tells Harry Streinabassen, next year could be a make or break moment for

democracy and finally the other Ukraine war to save a priceless piece of Jewish

heritage. Historian Jonathan Brent joins me. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London.

As casualties continue to mount in Gaza, Israel's allies are also continuing to mount criticism about surging settler violence against

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

The UK, France and the United States are all calling on it to end and slapping travel bans and

sanctions on some extremist settlers. This comes as the European Union, Britain and

13 other countries including Australia and Canada, release a joint statement saying,

quote, Israel's failure to protect Palestinians and prosecute extremist settlers has led to

an environment of near complete impunity in which settler violence has reached unprecedented levels.

And according to the United Nations, this year has been the deadliest on record since 2005 for Palestinians in the West Bank.

477 have been killed with more than half happening after October 7th.

Correspondent Nema al-Baguir has this special report from Hebron.

We stop at a service station in the occupied Palestinian West Bank.

A man in military fatigues demands to check our IDs.

He said, I have the right to secure this area and I need to talk who you are and what we're giving to you.

He has no identifying insignia, won't tell us who he is, but he's got a gun. So we oblige. We're confused and we're not the only ones.
