Summary

Israeli defense minister has reportedly stated that expelling Palestinians from Gaza is the only "real solution", a comment raising concerns about forced displacement. In the occupied West Bank, ethnic cleansing was also an issue as a UN report highlighted the forced displacement of entire refugee camps. Israeli settlers have continued their violent actions in the region, including severely beating an elderly woman. Multiple Palestinians, including children, were killed by Israeli strikes and gunfire across Gaza this week.
