What are the human right violations in israel that do not include gaza

1. A surge of settler violence and forced displacement is remaking daily life in the West Bank

Independent UN reporting and UN Human Rights Office statements document a pronounced rise in settler attacks, harassment and displacement across the West Bank through 2025, with hundreds of incidents recorded and a clear upward trend in 2025 compared with prior years ^{[1] [2]}. The attacks include violent assaults during harvests, intimidation that drives families from their land, and the rapid creation of outposts that change facts on the ground; these dynamics contribute to de facto annexation and materially restrict Palestinians’ freedom of movement, livelihood and security. UN monitors frame these actions as part of a broader pattern of settler expansion with insufficient state intervention, and they link the increase to higher rates of dispossession and emergency humanitarian needs ^{[2] [8]}. Israeli authorities and settler advocates often portray such incidents as isolated or framed by security narratives, producing a clear tension between state explanations and international monitoring ^[1].

2. Lethal force and civilian deaths in the West Bank raise rights and legal concerns

The UN Human Rights Office reports that since October 7, 2023, over a thousand Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including many children, and it attributes a significant share of these deaths to systematic or excessive use of lethal force by Israeli security forces ^[3]. The scale and pattern of killings have prompted calls from UN bodies and international committees for independent investigations and accountability mechanisms; the reports emphasize that lethal force standards under international law require necessity and proportionality, which monitors say were often not met. Israeli security forces dispute characterizations of systematic wrongdoing and stress operational context and threats to soldiers and civilians. This dispute underlines the policy gap between security justifications and human rights assessments, and it has driven persistent appeals for transparent, independent judicial review ^{[3] [6]}.

3. Detention, allegations of torture, and ill‑treatment in Israeli custody

Multiple accounts from human rights organizations and reunited detainees allege physical and psychological abuse in Israeli detention facilities, including claims of being bound, beaten, and subjected to demeaning or threatening treatment; families and released prisoners report treatment amounting to serious cruelty in some cases ^{[5] [9]}. NGOs such as the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders have flagged arbitrary detention and breaches of the absolute prohibition of torture in high-profile cases, including activists detained after maritime diplomacy actions, and have pointed to specific detention sites and conditions as problematic ^[9]. Israeli authorities have denied systematic abuse, attributing abuses to individual misconduct or operational necessity; independent monitors call both for improved oversight and for credible, independent investigations into the allegations to restore rule-of-law safeguards ^{[5] [9]}.

4. Systemic discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel affects basic protections

Research and reporting in 2024–2025 document long-running institutional inequalities faced by Palestinian citizens of Israel—discrimination in housing policy, unequal access to public services, and incidents of exclusion from protective measures such as shelters during escalations of hostilities ^{[10] [4]}. Articles and policy analyses describe patterns where municipal planning, resource allocation, and emergency responses systematically disadvantage Arab communities, producing measurable socioeconomic gaps and heightened vulnerability in crises ^[10]. During acute security events, documented episodes of shelter exclusion and discriminatory policing generated strong criticism and highlighted how emergency practices intersect with structural bias, prompting calls from civil society for legal and administrative reforms to safeguard equality ^{[4] [7]}.

5. Technology, dispossession and legal measures: state-driven pressures on Palestinian rights

UN and UN‑mandated committee reports outline a suite of administrative, legal, and technological measures that affect Palestinian communities: demolition orders, rapid home demolitions, accelerated outpost establishment, and the use of surveillance or AI tools in occupied areas—policies framed by monitors as part of a broader project to entrench control and alter demographics ^{[6] [2]}. These actions have concrete human rights consequences: loss of property, erosion of civil and political rights, and increased vulnerability to violence and displacement. Israeli officials often cast these measures as security or planning necessities and dispute characterization as deliberate dispossession, producing international calls for transparency, judicial remedies, and policy changes to align practice with legal obligations ^{[6] [2]}.

6. Conflicting narratives and what’s missing: accountability, independent inquiry, and reform demands

The corpus of recent reports shows consistent documentation of abuses beyond Gaza but also reveals sharp contestation: Israeli official denials, domestic political debates, and varying thresholds for independent inquiry. UN and NGO findings repeatedly demand independent investigations, greater accountability and protection for civilians, while Israeli statements prioritize security rationales and question external legal conclusions ^{[3] [9] [1]}. Important omitted considerations include the resourcing and mandate of investigative bodies, remedies for victims, and concrete timelines for reforms. The combination of mounting evidence from UN offices and NGOs, increasing settler violence, and complaints of systemic discrimination creates a policy imperative for transparent investigations, legal safeguards, and remedial action to stop rights violations outside Gaza ^{[1] [7] [5]}.
