Charities, trade unions, religious groups, and civil society organisations have signed a statement urgently calling on public bodies to “uphold their ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure human rights and international law are respected” as a direct response to Israel’s plans to illegally annex Palestinian land in the West Bank.

Shutting down a first-aid community initiative during a health crisis is an especially cruel example of the regular abuse inflicted on these communities, says B'Tselem.

For over half a century, those suspected of criminal responsibility for crimes under international law have been allowed to escape justice for atrocities committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, says Amnesty.

Volunteers from Rabbis for Human Rights were attacked as they assisted Palestinian farmers in harvesting their olives in the northern West Bank village of Burin.
