Israel and Palestine
In 2025, Israeli forces escalated their atrocities, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of genocide, and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians in Gaza, killing, maiming, starving and forcibly displacing Palestinians and destroying their homes, schools, and infrastructure at a scale unprecedented in the recent history of Israel and Palestine. A report issued in September by the UN Commission of Inquiry finding that Israel committed genocide in Gaza underscored the growing consensus among human rights organizations and experts around the atrocities in Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza that resulted in the killing of more than 69,000 Palestinians, including more than 19,000 children, and injuring of more than 170,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
