UN Warns of Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza and West Bank
The U.N. report details over 72,000 deaths in Gaza and documents famine, forced transfers, and possible war crimes by both Israeli forces and Hamas.
- In Geneva on Feb 19, the UN human rights office reported Israel's increased attacks and forcible transfers raise concerns over ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, during Nov 1, 2024–Oct 31, 2025.
- Amid a blockade and intensified military operations, Israel's cumulative conduct and blockade inflicted living conditions increasingly incompatible with Palestinians' continued existence in Gaza, while forcible transfers appear to aim at permanent displacement.
- The rights office documented at least 463 Palestinians, including 157 children, starved to death amid widespread killings, famine and destruction of civilian infrastructure by Israeli forces, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups.
- The report concluded Israeli practices indicate a concerted effort to consolidate annexation and deny Palestinians' right to self-determination, documenting unlawful force and demolitions in the occupied West Bank and annexed East Jerusalem.
- Last week UN rights chief Volker Turk warned of rapid demographic changes, while on Feb 18 Rosemary DiCarlo called Israel’s West Bank steps `gradual de facto annexation`; the report said impunity drives ongoing killings.
