Briefing: Crisis in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Nov 2023)

The briefing explores the escalation of violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which has caused devastating harm to civilians and calls for an immediate ceasefire by all parties.

Amnesty International urges the UK Government to press for compliance with international humanitarian law, secure the release of civilian hostages, end restrictions and the blockade on Gaza, prevent forced displacement and attacks on civilians, and support international accountability efforts.

The briefing also highlights Amnesty’s investigations into war crimes, including unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and calls for full support for the International Criminal Court’s investigation into crimes committed in the conflict.
