Palestinians 'Trapped' Between Israeli Forces, Settlers and Hamas: UN Probe
The commission said at least 1,080 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, while daily attacks continue in 2026.
- On Tuesday, a UN-mandated inquiry reported that civilians in Gaza and the West Bank are being "systematically and deliberately" subjected to severe rights violations by Israeli forces, settlers, and Hamas.
- In the Gaza Strip, "ordinary Palestinians find themselves trapped between the structural violence and mass atrocities of Israeli forces and the predatory, fear-based rule of Hamas," the report said, documenting 249 cases of executions and severe violence between 2024 and 2025.
- Settler violence "functions as a means of implementing Israeli State policy," the Commission said, with soldiers or settlers killing at least 1,080 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023.
- Indian judge Srinivasan Muralidhar stated that both sides operate within environments engineered by Israel, resulting in the "deliberate infliction of suffering" on civilians, which investigators said amounts to war crimes including torture and murder.
- The findings will be presented to the Human Rights Council's 62nd session on June 15 in Geneva, where the Commission emphasized that future stability requires clear commitments to accountability.
