United KingdomMore than 140 Palestinian citizens of Israel have died this year, marking a 12 percent increase compared to the same period in 2025, according to data from the Abraham Initiatives, as cited by AFP. The majority of these deaths are attributed to criminal gangs, family disputes, easy access to weapons, and perceived insufficient police action. If current trends continue, the death toll could exceed the previous annual high of 252 set in 2025. Community leaders accuse Israeli authorities of not thoroughly investigating the incidents, despite Palestinians comprising approximately 21 percent of Israel’s total population of 10.2 million.
