Gaza: Evidence points to Israel’s continued use of starvation to inflict genocide against Palestinians

From economy of occupation to economy of genocide – Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967

This report investigates the corporate machinery sustaining Israel’s settler-colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the occupied territory. While political leaders and governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and now, genocide. The complicity exposed by this report is just the tip of the iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including its executives. International law recognizes varying degrees of responsibility – each requiring scrutiny and accountability, particularly in this case, where a people’s self-determination and very existence are at stake. This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the global system that has allowed it.

Israeli security cabinet’s decision to resume land registration in Area C of the occupied West Bank is deeply troubling

The UN human rights office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is alarmed by reports that the Israeli security cabinet on 11 May decided to resume land registration in Area C of the occupied West Bank. The registration, which was suspended in 1968, appears to be the latest tool used by Israel to acquire Palestinian land and consolidate the unlawful annexation of the West Bank.
