The situation at Hamam El Malikh, a village in the Jordan Valley, is tense due to the establishment of a new outpost near the village and Umm Jamal. Such outposts are reportedly part of a broader effort to pressure Palestinian residents to leave their communities.

Recently, the residents of Umm Jamal were displaced, leaving behind their homes and moving to nearby villages like Tiyassir or Tubas. Similar pressures are now directed at Hamam El Maliach. Volunteers from international organizations and local escort groups have been accompanying residents during daily activities, such as grazing livestock, to provide support and a protective presence.

Observers note that the Israeli military appears to align with the settlers, raising concerns about impartiality. Calls to the military's Jordan Valley operations room reportedly receive automated responses, suggesting a lack of active engagement with the issue.
