COGAT warns Palestinian farmers against activist escorts during olive harvest

COGAT, the Israeli military body coordinating with Palestinians, has warned grove owners in the occupied West Bank not to bring Israeli or foreign activists to accompany them during the olive harvest, threatening to cancel coordinated harvest access if they do. Israeli officials have declined to confirm or explain the warning. Critics denounce the measure as restricting protection for farmers amid settler violence during harvest season.
Why now: The warning comes during olive harvest season, when farmer access and settler attacks are a flashpoint in the occupied West Bank.
