Rights group says Israel is systematically erasing Palestinian life in the West Bank

A B’Tselem report argues Israel is systematically erasing Palestinian life in the occupied West Bank across five interlinked domains—violence and intimidation, movement restrictions, economic strangulation, social/political destruction, and ethnic cleansing—with policy accelerating since 2022-23 and rooted in Bezalel Smotrich’s 2017 Decisive Plan. It contends Palestinians are being displaced and made increasingly unlivable as settlement expansion and military controls reshape space and life, noting unemployment rose from 13.1% in 2022 to 31.3% in 2024, around 700,000 Palestinians needed food aid in 2024, and 8-20% of West Bank schools were closed in 2023-24, among other impacts on work, schooling, and public services.

Amnesty Links RSF Atrocities in Darfur to Ethnic Cleansing, Urges Ceasefire and International Protection

Amnesty International concludes the RSF committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in and around El Fasher, North Darfur, detailing killings, torture, sexual violence, hostage-taking, forced child recruitment, and deliberate starvation during 2024–2025. Backed by 247 interviews, hundreds of videos, and satellite data, the report warns of ethnic-targeted persecution and possible genocide, and calls for an immediate nationwide ceasefire, deployment of an independent international protection force, accountability for senior RSF commanders, and a broader arms embargo.

Amnesty: West Bank Bedouin Face State-Sanctioned Displacement

Amnesty International accuses Israel of a state‑driven campaign of ethnic cleansing against Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the West Bank, detailing settler violence near Zanuta (Meitarim Farm) that targets tents, homes and water infrastructure and framing the violence as part of a broader policy of annexation and settlement expansion; the report calls on the international community to confront the state’s role and take action to halt the displacement.

Amnesty Warns of State-Driven Annexation and Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank, Urges Global Sanctions

Amnesty International’s report accuses Israel’s current government of a state-backed campaign to formally annex Area C of the West Bank and forcibly displace Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities, backed by intensified settler violence and land grabs. It cites hundreds of outposts, mass home demolitions, and thousands displaced between 2023 and 2026, characterizing the actions as crimes under international law and a policy of ethnic cleansing. The organization calls for immediate international action—sanctions, trade and aid bans, and asset freezes on implicated officials—and urges support for ICC investigations, arguing that inaction emboldens ongoing violations and erodes the rules-based order.
