Human Rights Watch — Israel and Palestine
HRW investigates and reports on human rights conditions in Israel and Palestine, including laws and policies affecting Palestinians under occupation and in Israel.
Human Rights Watch is one of the largest international non-governmental human rights organizations. Its Israel and Palestine work covers abuses by Israeli authorities, Palestinian armed groups, and other actors. It has published influential reports on settlement expansion, home demolitions, the use of lethal force, and the legal status of the occupation.
In 2021, HRW published A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution, arguing that Israeli authorities have committed the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution. The report is a major reference point in international legal and political debates.
