World leaders unite in condemning Israel at UN as West Bank unrest deepens

World leaders gathered at the United Nations to deliver a chorus of condemnation against Israel, as pressure mounted internationally over its conduct in the occupied territories.

Palestinians simultaneously took to the streets in protest against Israel's decision to ban visits to prisoners, a move critics say further tightens restrictions on those held in Israeli detention facilities.

The protests came as settler attacks continued across the occupied West Bank, with communities there facing what witnesses described as persistent and escalating violence. The dual crises have drawn renewed scrutiny from governments and international bodies demanding accountability.
