**Geneva, Switzerland** – The United Nations has received harrowing testimony from Palestinians detailing widespread abuse at the hands of Israeli settlers and security forces. Witnesses described beatings, torture, and sexual assault during a hearing before the UN’s independent Commission of Inquiry on the occupied West Bank.
One witness, identified only as Mohamed Matar, recounted a brutal attack that left him suffering from months of trauma. The details of his testimony, and others presented to the commission, paint a grim picture of systemic violence against Palestinians. The commission is tasked with investigating alleged human rights violations in the occupied West Bank and is expected to release a full report at a later date. The testimony underscores growing international concern over the situation in the occupied territories.
