November 28, 2025 Peace and security
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said on Friday it was "appalled by the brazen killing" of two Palestinians by Israeli border police in the West Bank, suggesting the incident may amount to an "extrajudicial execution."
The shooting occurred Thursday in Jenin and was apparently captured on television, Directorate spokesman Jeremy Lawrence told reporters in Geneva. He said an internal investigation was announced following the incident, but the statements by a senior Israeli official attempting to deflect responsibility from security forces "raise serious concerns about the credibility of any future investigations or probes conducted by entities that are not fully independent of the government."
Rising murder rates
Lawrence noted that the number of killings of Palestinians by Israeli security forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank is rapidly increasing, without those responsible being held accountable.
According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 1,030 Palestinians there since October 7, 2023, including 233 children.
"Impunity for the unlawful use of force by the Israeli military, as well as the ever-increasing violence by settlers, must end," Lawrence emphasized. He called for independent, prompt, and effective investigations and for all perpetrators to be held accountable.
