‘Violent and mass ethnic cleansing’ under way in West Bank: Israeli politician

Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli parliament, has taken to X to raise awareness over Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

“Under the smokescreen of the genocidal ethnic cleansing in Gaza, violent and mass ethnic cleansing is also taking place in the West Bank, actual destruction of many communities and several refugee camps,” he wrote.

“The world must wake up and stop the unfolding disaster NOW!” Cassif stated.

Cassif, a member of the left-wing, Arab-majority Hadash-Ta’al party, has long been a vocal critic of Israel’s abuses, including backing a petition supporting South Africa’s case of genocide against Israel held at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.

He is also strongly opposed to illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territory and has protested against them.
