Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, accused Israel of committing “ethnic cleansing” in the Jenin refugee camp, forcing families to flee their homes after facing harsh repression. Barghouti highlighted that the Israeli military’s actions in Jenin reflect statements by the army’s Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, indicating that the tactics used in Gaza and the West Bank are similar, involving collective punishment, arrests, and abuse. He emphasized the need for Palestinian unity to confront the ongoing violence as Israeli forces continue their operation in Jenin for the fourth day.
