Amnesty accuses Israel of ‘ethnic cleansing’ of West Bank Bedouins
RAMALLAH, Palestinian territories
Palestinians stand at the entrance of the Bedouin community of Dar Abu Faza as Israeli settlers pass through with their herd of livestock, on the outskirts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank village of Taybeh, on June 9, 2026.
Amnesty International accused Israel on June 10 of conducting an “ethnic cleansing” campaign against Bedouin and herding communities in the occupied West Bank, saying the measures were designed to accelerate the annexation of the Palestinian territory.
A new report by the rights group found that these rural Palestinian communities are bearing the brunt of Israeli settler violence and forced displacement.
