Amnesty International has accused Israel of orchestrating a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, with the ultimate aim of annexing the territory.
The rights organisation detailed its allegations in a new 149-page report, asserting that the forced displacement of West Bank Palestinians was the result of deliberate state policy rather than merely the actions of individual settlers. While settler activity is a significant driver of displacement, the report contends that such processes cannot occur without government backing.
