There have been at least 700 attacks on Palestinians by Israelis in 2023, a record-breaking number, according to the Institute for Middle East Understanding.
Mr Odeh said: "It's a record-setting year for the number of Palestinians killed, the number of Palestinian children killed, the number of homes demolished, the number of attacks by armed settlers that, you know, burned down homes and attack people and wounded and killed Palestinian civilians."
He added: "You know, there was nowhere for the story to go except a breaking point with a right-wing Israeli government that doesn’t recognise that Palestinians exist, doesn’t want to talk about Palestinians having freedom and a country of their own and a world that is ready to, kind of, appease that and work with it and just throw money at the Palestinians or condemnations and hope that things will be maintained."
