Israeli settlers have been laying siege to Palestinians in the village of Qusra in occupied West Bank for seven days. The settlers have cut off electricity to some homes, according to reports from the area.

The residents' resources are scarce as pressure on the population increases. Palestinians face growing difficulties in remaining in the village amid the imposed restrictions.

Xavier Abu Eid, a political scientist and master's degree holder in diplomacy, analysed the situation. According to Abu Eid, many Israeli soldiers are settlers in the occupied West Bank region.
