Global impunity fueling Israel's annexation in the West Bank Since December 2025, Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and to make the annexation of the territory an irreversible reality, Amnesty International said today. These decisions represent an unprecedented escalation – in scale and speed – in Israel’s project to expand illegal settlements. They facilitate the takeover of more Palestinian land, authorize a record number of new settlements, expanding existing ones, and formalize registration of land in the West Bank as Israeli state property. While successive Israeli governments have pursued policies aimed at expanding settlements and entrenching occupation and apartheid, the latest measures underscore how the current Israeli government has turbocharged these efforts, in the shadow of the genocide in Gaza. “What we are witnessing is a state, led by a Prime Minister wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, openly gloating about its defiance of international law. Despite hundreds of UN resoluti…

In a new 150-page report -“Erasing anything Palestinian: Israel's ethnic cleansing of West Bank Bedouin and herding communities”- Amnesty details how Israeli authorities are accelerating annexation through a state-driven campaign of ethnic cleansing targeting Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the occupied West Bank, while committing the crime against humanity of forcible transfer. The report exposes how the Israeli government has made formal annexation an explicit policy objective. It is impl…

Israel carrying out state-led ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, says ... The Israeli government is carrying out a state-led campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank that can’t be blamed solely on rogue settlers or extremist ministers, a damning new report has claimed. An exponential rise in state-backed settler violence has expelled thousands of Palestinians and allowed the annexation of their land, Amnesty International said in its 150-page report. The failure of world leaders to impose strict sanctions on Israel is emboldening the Israeli authorities to extend their control over the territory, it added. The report also took aim at the “ineffective words and half-measures” offered by the UK government to help tackle crimes carried out in the settlements, and its refusal to ban trade or investment linked to elements involved in the occupation. open image in gallery Israeli troops are seen during a protest against a settlement near Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on 9 June ( Reuters ) The report came a day after UK foreign secretary Yvette Cooper laid out a series of new sanctions on six organisations and one individual involved in “financing, enabling and carrying o…

At UN, Israel is accused of systematically fragmenting Palestinian communities & forcing Palestinians into what is described as "controlled pockets." "Events unfolding in the West Bank should be viewed as ethnic cleansing rather than isolated incidents of settlement expansion or settler violence"

Israel engaged in ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Palestinians from West Bank ... Amnesty International has accused Israel of orchestrating a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, with the ultimate aim of annexing the territory. The rights organisation detailed its allegations in a new 149-page report, asserting that the forced displacement of West Bank Palestinians was the result of deliberate state policy rather than merely the actions of individual settlers. While settler activity is a significant driver of displacement, the report contends that such processes cannot occur without government backing. The international community regards Israeli settlements as illegal. Israel, however, views the West Bank as disputed territory, maintaining that its final status is subject to negotiation. UN data indicates that more than 100 West Bank villages were fully or partially emptied between January 2023 and April 2026. Concurrently, the UN documents over 7,280 instances of individual Palestinian displacement in the same period due to the demolition of homes and structures by Israeli forces, including people displaced multiple times. Israel has previously dis…

West Bank ethnic cleansing, settler attacks Israel’s state policy: Amnesty Israel uses war crimes to accelerate 'annexation agenda and settlement expansion' in occupied land, rights group says.

Amnesty accuses Israel's government of 'ethnic cleansing' of West Bank Palestinians The London-based rights group says the Israeli government is deliberately trying to annex the Palestinian territory.

Amnesty International accuses Israel of state-led ethnic cleansing ... Amnesty International has published a new report accusing Israel of conducting a deliberate, state-led campaign of ethnic cleansing targeting Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the occupied West Bank. The NGO is now calling on governments worldwide to impose sanctions on senior Israeli officials and ban all trade and arms transfers linked to Israel's occupation. The report, titled "Erasing Anything Palestinian: Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of West Bank Bedouin and Herding Communities," argues that the campaign is not the work of rogue settlers or extremist ministers but a coordinated state strategy. It documents how Israel's current government has made formal annexation an explicit policy objective, embedding settler priorities like the hope for a “Great Israel” into coalition agreements. The group says these agreements are accelerating settlement expansion, land grabs, and financial support to settlements. According to the report, at least 117 predominantly Bedouin and herding communities faced full or partial displacement between January 2023 and April 2026, with at least 5,910 people forci…
