UN report: Discrimination against Palestinians in the West Bank 'reaches unprecedented levels'

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: United Nations – United Nations –

January 7, 2026 International law

A new report from the UN Human Rights Office documents a sharp escalation of long-standing systemic racial discrimination against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The report states that Israeli laws, policies, and practices violate international obligations to prohibit and eradicate racial segregation and apartheid.

The report notes that discrimination against Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is a long-standing problem, but the situation has "sharply worsened since at least December 2022." The document cites numerous examples of how Palestinians' lives are becoming increasingly restricted and unsafe.

Segregation and oppression

“The Israeli authorities apply two different legal regimes and policy systems to Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank, resulting in unequal treatment on a range of key issues, including freedom of movement and access to resources such as land and water,” the report said.

According to the document's authors, Palestinians continue to be subjected to large-scale land confiscation and deprivation of access to natural resources, leading to the loss of homes and livelihoods. The report also points to systematic violations of fair trial rights within the military justice system applied to Palestinians.

The authors conclude that the existing practices of separation, segregation and subordination are persistent and aimed at maintaining the oppression and domination of the Palestinian population. “Actions taken to maintain such policies constitute a violation of Article 3 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which prohibits racial segregation and apartheid,” the report emphasizes.

Deadly violence

Since October 7, 2023, UN experts note, Israel has further escalated its use of unlawful force, arbitrary detentions, and torture, intensified repression of civil society, restricted media freedoms, and accelerated settlement expansion. This, according to the report, has led to an "unprecedented deterioration in the human rights situation" in the West Bank, exacerbated by ongoing settler violence—often with the connivance or complicity of security forces.

The document also contains data on unlawful killings and other forms of state and settlement violence. It cites examples of the use of lethal force "in a discriminatory and unnecessary manner, with the clear intent to take life."

These include the death of 10-year-old Saddam Hussein Rajab, shot dead by Israeli security forces in January 2025, and the murder of 23-year-old pregnant woman Sondos Shalabi in February of the same year. In both cases, according to official reports, the victims were unarmed.

Access to resources

According to the report, restrictions on movement seriously undermine the economic and social rights of Palestinians, hindering access to land and employment, while the construction of roads exclusively for Israeli settlers isolates Palestinian communities. Thousands of Palestinians have been evicted from their homes, which experts estimate may constitute illegal population transfer—a war crime.

Particular attention is paid to the deprivation of Palestinians' access to natural resources, particularly water. The report describes the practice of confiscating and demolishing Palestinian water infrastructure and diverting water resources to Israeli settlements, forcing the Palestinian Authority to purchase water extracted in the West Bank from an Israeli state-owned company.

"Infringement of Palestinian rights"

"Palestinians are systematically violated in the West Bank," said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk. "Whether it's access to water, schools, and hospitals, visiting relatives, or picking olives, every aspect of Palestinian life is controlled and restricted by discriminatory Israeli laws, policies, and practices."

He called what was happening "a particularly severe form of racial discrimination and segregation, reminiscent of the apartheid systems that the world has previously encountered."

The report also points to near-total impunity for human rights violations. Of the more than 1,500 Palestinian deaths between 2017 and September 2025, only 112 investigations were opened, resulting in one conviction.

The authors emphasize that the illegal expansion of settlements continues unabated and call on Israel to repeal all laws and practices that support systemic discrimination, end its illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and ensure the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that he plans to meet with Danish officials next week to discuss the U.S. demand to acquire Greenland.

“I will meet with them next week… Then we will talk with them,” M. Rubio told reporters at the US Capitol.

"Every president always retains the option" of using military force, but "we always prefer to address it through other means," the Secretary of State said, attempting to downplay the impact of the White House's January 6 statement. In a statement emailed to Xinhua, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said that "the use of American troops" remains an option for US President Donald Trump in the context of his demand for the transfer of Greenland.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Viviane Motzfeldt previously formally requested a meeting with Marco Rubio to discuss the crisis. Both Greenland and Denmark have made it clear that the island is not for sale.

According to American media reports, on January 5, M. Rubio told lawmakers at a closed briefing that D. Trump's recent threats against Greenland do not indicate an imminent invasion and that the White House's goal is to buy the island from Denmark. –0–

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed doubt that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) would come to the United States' aid if needed to defend it.

Trump made the statement two days after Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a US attack on Greenland could effectively end the military alliance created after the end of World War II.

“We will always stand with NATO, even if it is not with us,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.

The US president and his team are exploring "various options" to gain control of Danish Greenland, including "the use of US troops," White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said in an emailed statement to Xinhua on Tuesday.

Kyiv, January 7 (Xinhua) — Ukraine's international gold and foreign exchange reserves grew by 30.8 percent in 2025, reaching $57.3 billion, the highest level since the country's independence. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU, or Central Bank) reported this on its website on Wednesday.

The regulator's press service noted that the growth of gold and foreign exchange reserves was made possible by record financial support from Kyiv's international partners, totaling $52.4 billion.

The stable operation of the country's domestic debt market and the NBU's policy—a set of interest rate and exchange rate policy instruments and capital control measures—also contributed to the increase in gold and foreign exchange reserves.

The press service added that the current level of international reserves provides financing for future imports for 5.9 months.

By the end of 2024, Ukraine's gold and foreign exchange reserves increased by 8 percent to $43.8 billion. –0–

SHANGHAI, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae-myung visited the building where the ROK Provisional Government was housed 100 years ago in Shanghai on Wednesday.

"We can't talk about the history of the Korean independence movement without mentioning China," Lee Jae-myung emphasized. "Nearly half of the historical sites associated with this struggle are located in China. This means that China was the main arena of our independence movement."

From 1910 to 1945, the Korean Peninsula was under the colonial rule of Imperial Japan. In 1919, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was established in Shanghai. The building, completed in 1925, served as the seat of this government from 1926 to 1932.

During his visit, Lee Jae-myung viewed historical photographs, documents, and maps, and laid flowers at the monument to Kim Gu, the leader of the South Korean independence movement, whose 150th anniversary will be celebrated in 2026.

The President of the Republic of Korea expressed gratitude to China for the restoration of this historic building and its protection over the past thirty years. Since its opening to the public in 1993, a year after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Republic of Korea, the site has welcomed millions of visitors and become an important bridge for bilateral exchanges.

“I hope that today’s event will serve as a precious opportunity to commemorate the sacrifices and contributions of our fallen heroes a century ago, and to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the Republic of Korea and China,” Lee Jae-myung said.

Lee Zhe-meng was in China on a state visit from January 4 to 7. –0–
