LONDON, 12 June. - (ANA) - Israel is carrying out the state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Bedouin and herder communities in the occupied West Bank, a new report by Amnesty International has said.

 

The report, released on Wednesday, details how the displacement of Bedouins and herders in Area C - which is under full Israeli military and civil control and covers 60% of the West Bank - is a direct result of Israeli state policy and support for violent Jewish settlers.

 

At least 117 Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities comprising a total of 5,910 people were partially or fully displaced from their land between January 2023 and April 2026, according to the report. Most of this displacement was attributed to settler attacks.   - (ANA) -
