Crisis in Gaza, Israel, and the wider Occupied Palestinian Territory
We are horrified by the ongoing crisis for civilians in Gaza, the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and Israel. Amnesty International has issued an urgent call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel, and an end to all arms transfers.
Amnesty International has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israeli authorities committed, and continue to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
There must be accountability for genocide and other crimes under international law. Decades of impunity must stop now. We will use all the tools at our disposal to ensure that those suspected of responsibility for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are brought to justice.
The root causes - including the Israeli authorities' unlawful system of apartheid against Palestinians, the illegal occupation, and decades of impunity - must end.
As the situation is so fast moving, Amnesty is publishing the latest developments via press release publications which you can see on this page.
