RAMALLAH, August 28, 2025 (WAFA) – Governor of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Laila Ghannam, today briefed a delegation from the British and Canadian consulates on the impact of ongoing attacks by Israeli occupation forces and colonists against Palestinian residents and landowners in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.

The briefing took place during a field tour organized by the governorate in the village, which included a visit to the Al-Mughayyir plain, recently subjected to large-scale bulldozing operations that destroyed hundreds of olive trees.

The tour also included homes repeatedly targeted by colonists, and lands under threat of confiscation and colonial road construction. Members of the village council and representatives of local institutions were present.

During the visit, the delegation met with local residents and heard firsthand testimonies of ongoing colonists’ violence, including home invasions and the systematic theft of land, carried out under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

The governor emphasized that the visit was particularly significant, as Al-Mughayyir is a clear reflection of the broader policy of settler colonialism and settler violence across all governorates.

she stressed that the people of Al-Mughayyir, Kafr Malik, Sinjil, Deir Dibwan, and other villages east of Ramallah are paying a heavy price due to the international community’s silence in the face of such crimes.

The governor called on the United Kingdom, Canada, and the international community to take concrete and decisive steps to address these ongoing violations, rather than simply issuing reports or statements of condemnation.
