Human Rights Watch has issued a report accusing Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza through widespread and systematic forced displacement of Palestinians, amounting to what some experts are describing as ethnic cleansing. The organization highlights the dire situation for those in northern Gaza, where the destruction is reported to be extensive, and warns that many may never be able to return to their homes. In response, Israel has rejected these claims, emphasizing that it is engaged in necessary military operations. However, analysts and human rights advocates continue to raise alarm about the potential annexation of displaced territories and the ongoing humanitarian crisis resulting from prolonged military actions.
