15/5/2026 – Union for Justice Foundation
The Union for Justice Foundation stated that the Israeli occupation authorities have, for the past 78 years, continued a policy of killing and displacement against the Palestinian people in one of the most horrific acts of genocide witnessed in the modern era.
It added: “Since the Nakba of 1948, the Palestinian cause has remained an open wound, while international institutions and the international community have remained either incapable or unwilling to deliver justice for Palestinians and compel Israel to implement the dozens of resolutions issued by the Security Council over the past decades, a reality that has encouraged the occupation state to continue its crimes.”
It further noted that the international community, led today by the United States, has recently entered a new phase in its bias toward Israel by seeking to end the role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and cut off its funding sources, despite the fact that the agency was established through a United Nations General Assembly resolution issued one year after the Nakba.
It continued: “Instead of holding Israel accountable for its crimes spanning more than seven decades — most recently the war on Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 72,000 people and the displacement of nearly two million Palestinians within the Strip — many international actors are pressuring the Palestinian people to stop confronting and resisting the occupation, despite the fact that such resistance is guaranteed under international law”.
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the Gaza Strip witnessed during the latest war a sharp and unprecedented decline in population estimated at approximately 254,000 people, representing a decrease of 10.6 percent compared with pre-war population estimates. Gaza’s population today stands at 2.13 million, reflecting what can be described as a severe demographic hemorrhage caused by killing and displacement.
It added: “Crimes of mass killing and displacement have not been limited to the Gaza Strip, but have also extended to the West Bank. According to United Nations reports, Israel has forcibly displaced around 40,000 Palestinians in the West Bank over the past year, half of them from the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps, as a result of the demolition of Palestinian homes carried out by the Israeli government and attacks carried out by settler gangs.”
The Union for Justice Foundation states that, 78 years after the Nakba, the Israeli occupation authorities are now seeking to eliminate what remains of Palestinian sovereignty represented by the Palestinian Authority through a plan to annex the West Bank to Israel via a series of gradual measures, foremost among them the expansion of settlements and the termination of the Oslo Accords.
The Foundation stressed that the occupation state seeks to tighten restrictions on Palestinians in the West Bank and strengthen its security grip over them through killings, arrests, destruction of homes, confiscation of land, and economic persecution by preventing Palestinians from working and restricting freedom of movement through hundreds of checkpoints that have turned Palestinian towns and villages into isolated enclaves, with the aim of forcing Palestinians to emigrate abroad.
The Union for Justice Foundation further stressed that the occupation government, formed by several extremist Jewish parties, believes the solution lies in expelling Palestinians abroad, whether through direct or indirect means, and establishing “Greater Israel.” It noted that the occupation’s expansionist ambitions today threaten neighboring countries including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 957,000 Palestinians were displaced in 1948 to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Arab countries out of a total of 1.4 million Palestinians who had been living in approximately 1,300 Palestinian towns and villages, representing 80 percent of the total Palestinian population.
This campaign of ethnic cleansing was accompanied by the perpetration of more than 70 massacres against Palestinians by Zionist militias, resulting in the killing of more than 15,000 Palestinians and the destruction of 531 Palestinian towns and villages out of a total of 774.
