A report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) stated: "Intensified attacks, the systematic destruction of entire neighborhoods, and the obstruction of humanitarian aid appeared aimed at inducing a permanent demographic change in Gaza."
The report continued: "This, combined with forced displacements that appear intended to be permanent, raises fears concerning ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank."
Global Condemnation
On Tuesday, 85 countries and organizations condemned Israel's unilateral decisions and actions aimed at expanding its illegal presence in the West Bank.
In a statement delivered by the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine, Riyad Mansour, on behalf of the coalition during a press conference at the UN Headquarters in New York, it was emphasized that:
These decisions contradict Israel's obligations under international law and must be rescinded immediately.
The coalition expressed its categorical opposition to any form of annexation.
