HRW Accuses Israel of Ethnic Cleansing and Forced Displacement in Gaza

Human Rights Watch has accused Israeli authorities of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by deliberately causing the mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza. The report claims that Israel's actions during its military offensive, which displaced 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.2 million residents, amount to "forced displacement" and "ethnic cleansing." Israel denies these allegations, asserting compliance with international law and blaming Hamas for using civilians as human shields. The situation has led to international legal proceedings, including accusations of genocide against Israel.
