Geneva – Israel is obligated to disclose the whereabouts of the nearly 3,000 Palestinian #civilians—including #children as well as dozens of women—it has kidnapped from homes and shelter centres, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement urging the international community to put pressure on Israel to end its policy of enforced #disappearance.
According to information received by Euro-Med Monitor, over the past few days the Israeli army has been detaining hundreds of Palestinians in the #SheikhRadwan neighbourhood in Gaza City. Among them are dozens of #women who were taken to #YarmoukStadium, where they had their veils removed and were searched by soldiers.

🇵🇸 Israeli Knesset’s decision to deny Gaza detainees legal representation provides legal cover for crime of enforced disappearance
The Israeli #Knesset’s General Assembly approved regulations that prevent Gazan detainees from meeting with their lawyers for an additional four months, thereby creating a legal cover for the crime of enforced #disappearance committed against thousands of #detainees.
According to the statement, the detainees’ prolonged forced disappearance may be a sign of the degree of #torture and violence they have endured during their arrest, interrogation, and #detention. EMHR emphasised that offering legal cover to conceal detainees indicates the involvement of multiple Israeli authorities in human rights violations. This cover is worthless, however, given that enforced disappearance is considered a crime against humanity by the #RomeStatute of the International Criminal Court.
