TIPH has deployed unarmed civilian observers since 1997. As 200,000 more Palestinians live in the city of Hebron.

Meanwhile, Palestinians also urged the United Nations to deploy permanent international forces in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

“The United Nations must guarantee the safety and protection of the Palestinian people until the end of Israeli occupation,” Palestinian official Saeb Muhammad Salih Erekat said.

However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not extend the mandate of the TIPH because he was accused of helping Palestine fight Israel.
