Israel carrying out elimination project against Palestinians in West Bank: Rights group
The 249-page report says 1,087 Palestinians were killed since Oct. 7, 2023, and argues the policies amount to apartheid and forcible transfer.
- On Monday, Israeli rights group B'Tselem released a report alleging Israel is carrying out a "systematic elimination project" in the West Bank aimed at dismantling Palestinian society and entrenching permanent Israeli control.
- B'Tselem identifies five interconnected tactics—violence, ethnic cleansing, movement restrictions, economic strangulation, and social destruction—that operate simultaneously to reinforce one another and systematically undermine Palestinian existence.
- Between October 7, 2023 and June 30, 2026, Israeli forces and civilians killed 1,087 Palestinians, including 242 children and 21 women, according to B'Tselem's figures. The UN documented more than 2,000 attacks on educational institutions during 2024-25.
- B'Tselem Executive Director Yuli Novak said policies "dismantle the conditions Palestinians need to continue living here as a people." Israel's withholding of Palestinian Authority tax revenues has severely undermined public-sector payroll capacity.
- Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's 2017 "Decisive Plan" serves as an ideological blueprint for current policies, the report argues. B'Tselem concludes the occupation operates within an apartheid regime based on "systematic domination and oppression of Palestinians.
