#MENAMay – The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Addressing the Root Causes of Injustice

The Israeli occupancy of Palestine continues to affect millions of people, with Palestinians facing displacement, violence, and restrictions on their basic human rights. The conflict is rooted in a history of political, social, and economic factors, and a lasting solution will require addressing these root causes.

The international community must prioritize supporting a just and equitable solution to the conflict that respects the rights of Palestinians. This includes addressing issues such as the status of Jerusalem, the rights of refugees, and territorial theft.

Furthermore, the human rights abuses committed by Israel must be addressed and those responsible held accountable. This includes ending the use of excessive force against civilians, lifting restrictions on movement and access to resources, and ensuring the rights of all Palestinian individuals are respected regardless of their religion.
