Amnesty International has accused Israel of carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. The London-based rights group says the Israeli government is deliberately trying to annex the Palestinian territory. The accusation came in a new, 149-page report released on Wednesday. It alleges that the forced displacement of West Bank Palestinians resulted from a state policy, not just the actions of violent settlers. The United Nations says over 100 West Bank villages were fully or partially emptied out between January 2023 and April 2026. Israel did not immediately respond to the report. It has denounced past accusations as longtime unfair bias against Israel.
