Olive Harvest Under Threat: West Bank Farmers Fear Losing Trees and Land

As olive harvest season begins, farmers in the West Bank worry they may lose their trees and land. The olive harvest is a vital source of income for many Palestinian families. It is also a cultural tradition passed down through generations. This year, farmers say access to their fields is uncertain. They fear their trees could be damaged or their land taken. The olive tree is a symbol of identity and survival for many Palestinians. Losing it would mean losing more than a crop. Farmers are calling for protection so they can harvest in safety. The coming weeks will show whether this season brings relief or further loss.
