#BTselem: "Israel is taking advantage of the fact that local and international attention is currently diverted from the #WestBank to impose far-reaching measures that constitute collective punishment, which is prohibited under international law. This conduct is integral to Israel's apartheid regime, which is at its most flagrant in #Hebron." https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-holding-750-families-hebron-curfew-collective-punishment-rights-group
#UNICEF: “This year has been the deadliest year on record for children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with conflict-related violence reaching unprecedented levels.
“83 children have been killed in the past twelve weeks – more than double the number of children killed in all of 2022, amid increased military and law enforcement operations. More than 576 have been injured and others have reportedly been detained. Furthermore, the West Bank has been heavily affected by movement and access restrictions."

UN expert Francesca Albanese spoke to the UN Palestinian Rights Committee on 31 October 2024. She called on all States to examine their relationships and avoid being #complicit in the crime of genocide being committed by Israel on the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Good news: Francesca Albanese's mandate as Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories (on the United Nations Human Rights Council) was automatically renewed (tacitly as they say, for three years); there was no vote.
