Illegal Israeli Measures Target Palestinian Youth and their Families in Occupied East Jerusalem
The recent Israeli judicial policy of imposing excessive criminal sentences on Palestinian youth in East Jerusalem, such as the case of Abed Dwayat, highlights discriminatory measures aimed at punishing Palestinians for dissent. This includes harsh sentences for stone-throwing, the revocation of residency rights, house demolitions, and property confiscation. These actions violate international humanitarian and human rights law, including the prohibition of collective punishment, forcible transfer, and the right to a fair trial. The international community is urged to intervene and demand an end to these practices.
