Violence erupted at a Bedouin encampment in West Bank on January 17 as Israeli settlers allegedly assaulted Palestinians and foreign activists, torching at least eight homes, according to The Times of Israel. Security footage showed tents on fire, gunshots ringing out, and families fleeing in panic. Two Palestinians and two foreign activists were hospitalized as rights activists claimed nearly 20 settlers carried out the attack. Police later found a suspect vehicle with clubs inside. Turmoil unfolded as White House unveiled Trump-led “Gaza Board of Peace,” a new governance plan including U.S. allies, Arab states, and technocrats—raising sharp questions over peace amid escalating violence.
