American Report: Israel's War Negatively Affected Human Rights Situation

The U.S. State Department confirmed in its annual report today, Monday, that "the war between Israel and Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and led to a severe humanitarian crisis, had a significant negative impact on the human rights situation." Important human rights issues include credible reports of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and unjustified arrests of journalists, among other matters, as stated in the country reports for 2023 on human rights practices.
