Amnesty International Accuses Israel of 'Ethnic Cleansing' in West Bank

10 June 2026 07:35

Amnesty International has released a report accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, alleging a state-led campaign to displace Palestinians and annex the territory. - The report claims over 100 villages have been fully or partially emptied between January 2023 and April 2026.

- More than 7,280 individual displacements due to home demolitions by Israeli forces have been recorded by the UN. - Settler violence and the expansion of illegal outposts are described as core components of the policy.

- Amnesty criticizes the international community for failing to act to stop the displacement. The report underscores the vulnerability of Bedouin herding communities and the intensification of displacement since the October 2023 attack.
