UN sounds alarm: 36,000 Palestinians displaced in the West Bank

A UN report highlights the alarming displacement of 36,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank due to the expansion of Israeli settlements, pointing to potential ethnic cleansing.

The United Nations has raised concerns over the unprecedented displacement of over 36,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as reported by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk.
