IsPal IsPal info — Israel-Palestine news that matters
Israel, Palestine, the wider region — the news that matters, condensed and structured, without detours.
Slowing down, not switching off. Until September the newsroom runs on summer time: dailies may be bundled over two or three days and land up to 24 hours later than usual. Nothing gets lost — everything that matters is still documented, just at a holiday pace. The weekly keeps its Sunday slot.

PALESTINIANS DISPLACED IN THE WEST BANK: UN AGENCY CITES 'CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY' AND 'ETHNIC CLEANSING'
From September 4 to 6, 2026, ten pieces dominated by the West Bank. A UN human rights report concludes that the forced displacement of three refugee camps' residents — and the ban on their return — amounts to a "crime against humanity" and "ethnic cleansing" (Le Monde). On the ground, the same pattern repeats: in al-Mughayyir, settlers enter the village under army protection, and soldiers end up shooting Palestinians (Haaretz); in Qusra and Jalud, families are driven from their homes — "they gave us one hour to leave" (franceinfo). In a rare move, US ambassador Mike Huckabee denounces "terrorist" settler attacks and threatens "severe consequences" (New York Times, RFI). In the New York Times, Mairav Zonszein sums it up: "It's not just the West Bank settlers. It's Israel." The Guardian also publishes an exclusive investigation into the strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, the result of a military practice of "guilt by association". Also of note: religious divisions entering Israel's election campaign (Le Monde), a dispatch from Trump Heights in the Golan (New York Times), and Budrus, Just Vision's documentary on one village's non-violent resistance.

YAIR LAPID'S SILENCE AND COWARDICE DESTROYED THE ISRAELI OPPOSITION. HE WON'T BE MISSED
Thursday, September 3, 2026: seven pieces ahead of Israel's October 27 legislative elections. In Haaretz, Gideon Levy settles scores with Yair Lapid, whose "silence and cowardice" allegedly destroyed the opposition. Mid-campaign, Itamar Ben Gvir unveils a plan to empty the Gaza Strip of its inhabitants — a forced displacement that amounts to a war crime under international law (Le Monde). +972 Magazine reveals a new land confiscation order in Bil'in, the symbol of non-violent resistance, to cement a settlement corridor. On franceinfo, Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek denounces the "lie" of a two-state solution made impossible by settler abuses. In the background: an interview with Israel's elections chief promising a deepfake-proof vote, and two deep reads — messianism as Ben-Gurion's educational ethos, and Omer Bartov's review of Mark Mazower's new history of antisemitism.

Week of August 31 to September 6, 2026
The week of August 31 to September 6, 2026 put the West Bank back at the centre. The UN human rights office concludes that the forced displacement of three refugee camps' residents — and the continuing ban on their return — amounts to a crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing. The same mechanism, at village scale, is documented by Haaretz in al-Mughayyir, where settlers enter under army protection, and by franceinfo in Qusra and Jalud, where families were given "one hour to leave". Even US ambassador Mike Huckabee, close to settler circles, had to call these attacks "terrorist". In the New York Times, Mairav Zonszein pulls the thread: responsibility lies not with the settlers alone, but with the state.
