    Over the past few months, the Israeli military assault in Gaza has
    killed and injured more than 100,000 people and has decimated health
    care, education, and housing infrastructure. While international
    attention has been focused on the catastrophe in Gaza, another crisis
    is unfolding in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

    Since October 7, 2023, more than 544 Palestinians have been killed
    (including 126 children) and over 5,200 injured (including 800
    children) by the Israeli military and Jewish settlers in Jerusalem and
    the West Bank (6/16/24). The UN Human Rights Office of the High
    Commissioner decries “day after day of unprecedented bloodshed…The
    killing, destruction and widespread human rights violations are
    unacceptable, and must cease immediately. Israel must not only adopt
    but enforce rules of engagement that are fully in line with applicable
    human rights norms and standards.”

    The Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council would like to
    highlight the following urgent concerns:

    The Israeli military has intensified land incursions since October, especially targeting refugee camps. Before the Hamas attack, the
    Israeli military launched an average of 600 raids per month. Since
    then, the number has risen to over 1,000 monthly, with increased
    closures and blockades, including in Area A, ostensibly under the
    civil and security control of the Palestinian Authority.

    Israeli armored vehicles deploy unprovoked lethal force against
    Palestinian protesters who pose no imminent threat. These attacks have
    been accompanied by a systematic denial of medical assistance to the
    injured.

    Israeli forces have carried out airstrikes in blatant disregard for “collateral damage.” Over 29 attacks on refugee camps and densely
    populated areas by unmanned aerial vehicles, planes and the firing of ground-to-ground missiles have occurred since October 2023. An
    Intercept investigation documented at least 37 air, drone, and
    helicopter strikes since June 2023. Of the 55 Palestinians killed by airstrikes, 24 were children, ranging in ages from 11 to 17. Drone
    attacks in residential areas result in high levels of physical
    displacement and physical and psychological trauma.

    A campaign of targeted assassination by air has also killed many
    civilians, a violation of international law.

    Jewish settlers have repeatedly vandalized and destroyed more than
    43,600 Palestinian-owned trees, as well as buildings, fencing, and
    solar equipment. Armed and supported by the Israeli military and
    police, settlers create a coercive environment designed to dispossess
    local inhabitants and take their land. Since October 2023, 968 settler attacks have been documented.

    The demolition of 991 structures, 34% of them homes, due to lack of Israeli-issued permits, as punishment, or as part of military
    activities, has displaced 2,155 Palestinians in the West Bank since
    October. In East Jerusalem, many Palestinian-owned structures have
    been demolished for lacking impossible-to-obtain Israeli-issued
    building permits, displacing 183 people since January 2024.

    Serious economic hardship has been caused by the military actions, restrictions on mobility, and the denial since October of permits for Palestinians to work in Israel.

    The withholding of Palestinian Authority tax revenue has resulted in
    50% pay cuts to monthly salaries of civil servants.

    Attacks on health care facilities in the West Bank have killed 16
    people and injured 95, and affected 319 ambulances, 54 health
    facilities and 20 mobile clinics between October 7 and May 28, in 480 instances documented by WHO.

    Water supply was restricted to only two days over the past week in
    East Jerusalem’s Kufr Aqab. The local water company says Israel
    diminished the area’s supply.

    There has been no response from the U.S. government to the increased
    number and lethality of Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the West
    Bank. These attacks violate international law and the Geneva
    Conventions. The UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-terrorism and Human
    Rights stated that the obligations of humanitarian law and
    international human rights law apply to the West Bank.

    The Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council, as a U.S.-based organization of healthcare workers, calls on the U.S. State Department
    and the Biden Administration to hold Israel accountable for violations
    of International Law and International Humanitarian Law in the West
    Bank, as documented above.

    We call for:

    An impartial investigation into Israel’s use of lethal force,
    collective punishment, violations of the right of movement,
    demolitions of homes, villages, farming land, olive groves, etc. Such
    an investigation cannot be carried out by the perpetrator of these
    actions, but rather by an international body such as an international
    human rights NGO or the appropriate body of the United Nations;

    An end to U.S. funding of Israel’s military as long as any weapons or technology are being used in violation of human rights and
    international law;

    An immediate halt to Israeli military assaults on health care
    facilities (including attacks on ambulances and health care workers),
    as these are internationally protected sites;

    An immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a return to the negotiating table
    to implement a path to Palestinian self-determination and a just and sustainable peace.

    We urge all healthcare workers to urgently speak out and contact their elected members of Congress and the Biden Administration about the
    health and human crisis faced by Palestinians in the West Bank and
    East Jerusalem.
