Articles for Palestine

The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory stated in a report published on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, that the State of Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

We, the undersigned human rights organizations, express our deep indignation and profound outrage at the heinous crime perpetrated on August 25, 2025, by the Israeli occupation, whose airstrikes targeted the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, resulting in the death of dozens of civilians, including five journalists carrying out their professional and humanitarian duty of conveying the truth and documenting violations. 

According to media and human rights sources, the journalists killed are: 

On 11 December 2008, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming 19 August of each year as “World Humanitarian Day”, “to further raise public awareness of humanitarian assistance activities worldwide and the importance of international cooperation in this regard, to pay tribute to all humanitarian workers as well as UN personnel and associated individuals who work for the humanitarian cause, and to commemorate those who lost their lives while carrying out their missions.”&nbs

We, the undersigned human rights organizations, strongly condemn the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation on the evening of Sunday, August 10, 2025. This was the premeditated assassination of the Al Jazeera news team in the Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of journalist Anas Al-Sharif and his colleagues Mohammed Qreiqa, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Al-Aiwa, and Mohammed Noufal, and wounded journalist Mohammed Sobeh, following a direct airstrike targeting the journalists’ tent set up in front of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. 

The undersigned international legal and human rights organizations express their deep outrage and categorical rejection of the recent statements made by the U.S. Envoy to the Middle East, Mr. Steve Whitkoff, in which he denied the existence of famine in the Gaza Strip. 

Such remarks blatantly ignore the well-documented realities on the ground and the numerous international reports confirming an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe that threatens the lives of over two million Palestinians. 

In the devastated Gaza Strip, suffering goes far beyond the relentless roar of bombings and Israeli air raids. Another war is raging—quieter but equally ruthless: a war of starvation, systematic and deadly. 

June 4 marks the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, a commemoration that takes on particularly tragic significance this year, as the children of Gaza endure a daily nightmare. Israeli deadly attacks pursue them even into displacement zones, the streets, tents, and even their hospital beds. 

The undersigned Arab human rights organizations condemn US President Donald Trump’s adoption of the policy of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people and his intent to implement this policy by imposing control over the Gaza Strip by armed force. Trump summoned the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt for urgent meetings that will begin next week in Washington DC, with the aim of compelling the two countries to receive about two million new Palestinian refugees.

A report published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has concluded that the pattern of deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals and their surroundings, along with related combat operations, has pushed the healthcare system to the brink of total collapse. This has had catastrophic effects on Palestinians' access to medical and healthcare services.

Four independent UN human rights rapporteurs have urged the international community to impose sanctions regarding Israel's conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories. They also called for restoring trust in the international justice system by abandoning "double standards and extreme interpretations" in applying the rules governing warfare.
