State of the Occupation Report 2025
58 Years of Occupation, The Two-Year War in Gaza
The two years since October 7 have been marked by major escalations in the scope and severity of human rights violations and breaches of international law in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem: widespread killing and violence, unprecedented destruction, starvation, displacement, intensified occupation, and restrictions on freedom of protest.
Fundamental values such as the sanctity of life, universal human rights, respect for the rule of law and the laws of war, and accountability for violations, have been compromised to a degree that cannot be rectified without thorough investigations and genuine acceptance of responsibility.
The information presented in this report has been rigorously collected, verified, and cross-referenced through sustained efforts. It is difficult to read and absorb. Still, we, the signatory organizations, hope you will engage with it and join us in calling for action and for the redress of the injustices it exposes.
