200 new barriers, occupied lands and abandoned communities: Israeli NGO denounces "elimination" project in the West Bank

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:35

The Israeli non-governmental organization B'Tselem published a new 188-page report in which it describes what it calls a project of "elimination" in the West Bank. The document presents a serious accusation against Israeli policies in the occupied region.

According to the report, approximately 200 new physical barriers have been erected in the West Bank, land has been occupied, and entire communities have been abandoned. These measures are part of a systematic pattern that the organization identifies as part of a broader project of elimination.

B'Tselem, known for its work documenting human rights violations in the occupied territories, bases its accusations on months of investigation and data collection on the ground in the West Bank.

The report comes in a context of ongoing tensions in the region, where the expansion of Israeli settlements and the restrictions imposed on the Palestinian population have been the subject of international condemnation. The organization calls on the international community to take action against what it considers to be systematic violations of international law.

Why this matters

The B'Tselem report documents concrete changes on the ground that directly affect Palestinian communities in the West Bank, including new movement restrictions and loss of land. This document comes after years of settlement expansion and raises questions about the future of the peace process in the region.
