The Associations Bill (Amendment – Donation from Foreign State Entity)” seeks to impose an 80% tax on most donations received by Israeli nonprofit organizations from foreign governments or official state institutions, and to divest the courts of their authority to hear petitions submitted by organizations whose primary funding comes from such entities. The proposed law is a major violation of fundamental rights, including freedom of association, freedom of speech, and the rig

Palestinian deaths and injuries in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem According to UN figures , from October 7, 2023, when the war broke out, to October 16, 2025, 1,001 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Among the victims were 210 children, 20 women, and seven people with disabilities. While the number of Palestinian casualties peaked in the months immediately following October 7, it remained significantly higher than in previous years t

Forcible transfer inside the Gaza Strip and control of the territory At the height of the conflict,  about 86% of Gaza’s territory  was designated a closed military zone or placed under evacuation orders. This, combined with the systematic destruction of buildings and infrastructure forced at least 1.9 million residents, nearly 90% of the Strip’s population, out of their homes, and later out of temporary shelters as well. Many were forced to relocate multiple times , sometime

Dispossession through land registration procedures The process of formal land registration, or Settlement of Land Title (SOLT) in East Jerusalem poses a major threat to Palestinian residents and serves as a tool for Israelizing areas beyond the Green Line. This is accomplished by transferring ownership of real estate to the state and its various agencies, or to private individuals and companies involved in settlement activity in East Jerusalem, mainly through the Guardian Gen

Based on information collected from official sources through Freedom of Information requests, human rights organizations, and media outlets, and verified by Physicians for Human Rights Israel through cross-referencing directly-managed cases, collected testimonies, and participation in post-mortem examinations, at least 94 Palestinian security prisoners and detainees died in IPS and military facilities or while being transferred by the military to these locations between Octob

Restrictions on activists, human rights defenders, and on freedom of expression and protest further entrench the occupation and enable human rights violations in the Occupied Territories. Since the outbreak of the war, and through its second year, attempts to restrict space for protests against the occupation, government policy, and the continued war in the Gaza Strip have intensified. Demonstrations and protests Dozens of anti-war protests were denied permits by the police a

Over the two years of war, residential buildings, industrial and agricultural areas, livestock farms, public facilities, roads, and infrastructure have been destroyed. Cities, neighborhoods, and villages were systematically decimated, and today the Strip is buried under tens of millions of tons of debris. Satellite imagery shows that vast areas are no longer habitable, and experts estimate it will take years to rebuild Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans have lost their hom

Settler violence – figures and trends From 2023 to 2025, incidents of violence committed by Israeli civilians, almost exclusively residents of Jewish settlements, against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank soared. The frequency, scope, and severity of settler attacks have been on the rise since early 2023, with another surge since the outbreak of the war. The establishment of many new shepherding outposts across the West Bank has also contributed significantly t

Discrimination in planning and housing In 2024 , plans for over 11,000 housing units were approved citywide. Only 1,000 of the units are in Palestinian neighborhoods, meaning less than 10% of all approved units will serve 40% of the city’s population.​ The discrimination against residents of Palestinian neighborhoods in Jerusalem is evident at every stage of the building bureaucracy . As in previous years, in 2024, numerous master plans for building more than 50,000 housing u

Detention conditions in both military and IPS facilities are extremely harsh, and, as noted, have led to deaths. In addition to Gaza residents detained as “unlawful combatants” since the start of the war, other security detainees and prisoners, adults and minors alike, including persons taken into custody before October 2023, have been subjected to conditions that have been deliberately and significantly worsened since the outbreak of hostilities. As of October 2025, followin
