‘The bloodiest year in the last 15 years for Palestinian children’

Human Rights Watch (HRW) claimed that 2022 was “the bloodiest year in the last 15 years” for children in the occupied West Bank region and demanded that Israeli forces end violations of the right to life of Palestinian civilians. .

In its report, HRW said: “2022 has been the bloodiest year in the last 15 years for Palestinian children in the West Bank.” I used the phrases. The report states that Israel’s violence against Palestinian civilians continues to increase this year as well and that “[violations of the right to life]continue at the same rate in 2023 or will exceed 2022.” It was said.

“The Israeli army and police are killing Palestinian children without accountability.” The report highlighted crimes committed by Israeli forces against Palestinian children in the West Bank.

The report also claims that Israeli forces killed 34 Palestinian children as of August 22, 2023 in the West Bank.

Calling on Israel to “end the use of deadly force by soldiers and police in the West Bank, especially against children,” the report called for “instructions prohibiting deliberate killing be issued and shared with security forces and the public, except in cases of necessity”.

To report violations of the rights of Palestinian children by Israel to the Secretary General of the United Nations, expedite investigations, especially violations of children’s rights, at the office of the International Criminal Court in Palestine and end to the “serious violations of the rights of Israel” “Aid will be delivered to Israel worth 3,000 million dollars in 2023. It was recommended to condition it to countries like the United States, which promised 800 million dollars in military aid.

The occupied West Bank has been witnessing serious tensions for months as a result of incursions by the Israeli army and attacks and violations of the rights of Jewish settlers. (AA)
