Amnesty International accused Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank in a report released this week. The human rights organization said Israeli authorities have pursued policies designed to displace Palestinian communities from the territory.
The report documented what Amnesty described as systematic operations aimed at altering the demographic composition of parts of the West Bank. Researchers cited forced evictions, settlement expansion and restrictions on Palestinian movement as elements of the alleged campaign.
Israeli officials routinely reject such characterizations of their policies in the West Bank. The government has not responded in detail to the specific findings in the Amnesty document.
The publication adds to a growing body of international scrutiny over Israeli conduct in the occupied territories. Amnesty called on the international community to hold Israel accountable under international law.
