United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric announced that the UN is actively working to support Palestinian farmers and olive pickers as the harvest season approaches. According to Dujarric, humanitarian partners have identified specific areas where protection is necessary to ensure that farmers can gather their crops safely and without delay. The UN has reiterated its call for Israeli authorities to take responsibility for protecting civilians from potential settler violence during this period.

In addition to the call for security, humanitarian organizations are seeking flexible funding to address the immediate needs of Palestinian communities that may be affected by disruptions to the harvest. The olive harvest is a critical economic and cultural event for many Palestinian families, and the UN's intervention aims to mitigate risks associated with the current security climate. While the UN has emphasized the need for safe access to agricultural land, the report does not detail specific responses from Israeli officials or security agencies regarding these requests for protection. The focus remains on the logistical and safety challenges identified by humanitarian partners on the ground.
