UN experts dismayed by Israeli escalation in occupied West Bank

Israli attacks on the occupied West Bank are going to deepen suffering and violence on Palestinians, a group of UN special rapporteurs and independent experts warned on Monday.

“We are dismayed by the escalation of deadly violence sweeping through Jenin and the rest of the occupied West Bank,” the experts said. “Israel's repression seems to have no end in sight.”

The experts noted Israel's raid on Jenin which has killed at least 16 Palestinians.

"The Israeli Government must instruct its military and security forces to immediately cease any use of excessive force and exercise restraint and withdraw its troops from the occupied West Bank, as ordered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in July 2024," they said.
