Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor: “Israel’s incitement campaign against us is part of its attempt to prevent documenting the occupation’s crimes”    

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has stressed that the Israeli occupation is launching an incitement and distortion campaign against the Monitor’s work through making lies that are part of the occupation’s attempt to prevent the documentation of its crimes and violations in the occupied territories.

In a statement on Monday, the Monitor said “the Foreign Ministry continues to launch a widespread campaign of incitement and distortion of our work, through false allegations that doubt our neutrality and professionalism. This campaign is launched in the light of our monitoring and documentation of the large-scale crimes committed by the Israeli forces during the ongoing war on Gaza Strip since last October 7.”

The Monitor explained that “Israel” obstructs the work of the international and local human rights organizations operating in the Palestinian territories in general, and in Gaza Strip in particular, by imposing broad restrictions on field documentation operations, freedom of movement and by widespread targeting of field teams working on the ground, in addition to preventing the access of UN teams and international investigation committees to investigate war crimes.
