Assembly resolution ES-10/24, including to bring to an end to its unlawful presence in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as rapidly as possible, to cease
immediately all new settlement activity, to evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, to dismantle the parts of the wall constructed by Israel that are situated in the

the transfer of its nationals into the occupied territory, the construction and expansion of
settlements, the expropriation and de facto annexation of land, the demolition of homes and
community infrastructure, disruptions to the livelihood of protected persons, the confiscation
and destruction of property, including humanitarian relief consignments, the forcible transfer
of Palestinian civilians or the threat thereof, including of entire communities, and the
construction of bypass roads, which change the physical character and demographic

appropriation of Palestinian property through, inter alia, the declaration of “State lands”,
closed “military zones”, “national parks” and “archaeological sites” to facilitate and advance
the expansion or construction of settlements and related infrastructure, in violation of the
obligations of Israel under international humanitarian law and international human rights law;
(c)
Israeli measures in the form of policies, laws and practices that have the effect
