Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, along with Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), have released a new joint report on “Israel’s forcible transfer of Palestinians” in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

Titled “Displaced Communities, Forgotten People”, the report found that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from their homes in the area since January 2023, and that “Israel bears responsibility for committing the war crime of forcible transfer of Palestinians in the West Bank”.

“The systematic nature of these acts, and their repetition in different locations lead to the grave conclusion that in certain areas of the West Bank, Israel is implementing practices of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians,” the report noted.
