A new report by B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, characterizes Israeli actions on the ground as a "project of elimination" of Palestinians, according to Al Jazeera English. The assessment comes as settlement-related sanctions spark a broader diplomatic crisis in the region.
The report's framing represents a significant escalation in rhetoric from Israeli civil society regarding the occupation and settlement expansion policies.
