UN says Israel is stoking ethnic cleansing' fears in Gaza, West Bank
"A new United Nations Human Rights Office report says Israel's military campaign and blockade of Gaza have created living conditions increasingly incompatible with Palestinians' continued existence as a group in Gaza as it presses its genocidal war on the enclave. The report released on Thursday states that intensified attacks, the methodical destruction of entire neighbourhoods and the denial of humanitarian assistance appeared to aim at a permanent demographic shift in Gaza."
"Covering the period from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025, the report documents Israel's security forces' systematic use of unlawful force in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem. It highlights widespread arbitrary detention and the extensive unlawful demolition of Palestinian homes, stating that the measures seek to systematically discriminate, oppress, control and dominate the Palestinian people. These policies are altering the character, status and demographic composition of the occupied West Bank, raising serious concerns of ethnic cleansing."
Israel's military campaign and blockade of Gaza created living conditions incompatible with Palestinians' continued existence as a group, with intensified attacks, neighbourhood destruction and denial of humanitarian assistance appearing to aim at a permanent demographic shift. Forcible transfers and displacement raise concerns of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. From 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025 Israeli security forces systematically used unlawful force in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, including arbitrary detention and unlawful demolition of Palestinian homes. In Gaza civilian killings, famine and infrastructure destruction caused at least 463 starvation deaths, including 157 children.
