This warning is coming from the United Nations, and specifically its UN Middle East peace coordinator Tor Wennesland who is on record for saying so because of what he sees on the ground in the Palestinian occupied territories.

His views are trending on the social media. “So far, 2022 is on course to be the deadliest year for the Palestinians in the West Bank since [Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] began systematically tracking Palestinian fatalities in 2005,” Tor Wennesland said in a briefing to the UN Security Council on Friday as quoted by the Palestine Chronicle.
He added that the “already explosive situation” will only deteriorate unless there is a return to political dialogue.

Wennesland told the UN Security Council on an open debate on Palestine that Jewish settlers are to be blamed for the spiralling violence, adding that "in total....32 Palestinians, including six children, were killed by Israeli forces during demonstrations, clashes, search-and-arrest operations, attacks and alleged attacks against Israelis, and other incidents, and 311 Palestinians, including one woman and eight children, were injured" as quoted the Wafa.
