UN NewsState / PublicProgressiveFactual 95Objective 889/4/2026A new report by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) alleges that Israeli security forces forcibly displaced over 33,000 Palestinians from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank during Operation Iron Wall in early 2025. The report claims that Israeli forces destroyed hundreds of homes, damaged infrastructure, and blocked humanitarian access, leading to widespread displacement and raising concerns about crimes against humanity, including forced transfer, collective punishment, and ethnic cleansing. It notes that 102 Palestinians, including 21 children, were killed during the operation, which accounted for 46% of all Israeli casualties in the West Bank during that period. The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, criticized the operation as an attempt to clear the camps to make way for Israeli settlements and urged Israel to end its 59-year occupation, citing a 2024 ruling by the International Court of Justice requiring Israel to withdraw from occupied territories. As of July 2026, approximately 33,362 Palestinians remain displaced.

Following a Gen Z-led uprising that led to political changes, the newly elected Prime Minister Balendra 'Balen' Shah has initiated sweeping measures, including the demolition of informal settlements along the Bagmati River.
