Justice for Palestinians

Over the course of the conflict in Gaza, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and Israel, the world has borne witness to appalling human rights catastrophes.

War crimes have been committed by both sides, and Amnesty has compiled evidence which shows that Israeli authorities committed genocide against Palestinians.

We stand by all the victims and will do all we can to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

What's happening?

For more than 80 years, the conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory has claimed too many lives.

The latest flare-up is as full of horror and suffering as any chapter before this.

On Oct 7, 2023, Hamas launched a series of surprise attacks on communities in southern Israel. The deadly attack killed around 1,200 people and tore 251 hostages from their homes, friends and family.

The Israeli government's response was brutal. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, and many more wounded. Food, water, and humanitarian aid were cut off, causing widespread suffering.

Ceasefire

A ceasefire was reached in October 2025, bringing some relief to the besieged population in Gaza, and allowing some more of the Israeli hostages to return to their families.

Every atrocity is a tragedy. But unless the underlying causes of this conflict are addressed, Palestinians and Israelis cannot even begin to hope for a brighter future built on rights, equality and justice.

What we're calling for

Israel must dismantle the brutal system of apartheid it imposes on Palestinians and end its unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory once and for all.

There must be accountability on both sides for genocide and other crimes under international law.
