More than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war launched by Israel following the 7 October, 2023 Hamas attacks. Palestinian territory has also become increasingly fragmented – in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
“What is unfolding in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem are not isolated incidents, but rather a malicious colonial project aimed at making life more difficult for Palestinians in their homeland and forcing them to leave,” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told the United Nations on 24 September.
