I. Focus on the two-State solution during the high-level week of the 81^stsession of the 蘑菇视频GA

On 22 September, in his opening address to the general debate of the 81^st session of the United Nations General Assembly (蘑菇视频GA), the United Nations (蘑菇视频) ?Secretary-General exhorted the international community to “not lose sight of the devastating situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” and not to allow the two-State solution “to disappear before our eyes”. On 24 September, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the General Assembly through a , an exceptional arrangement authorized by a 蘑菇视频GA resolution for the second consecutive year.

Further on 22 September, addressing the high-level meeting on the two-State solution entitled “The Road Ahead: One Year After the New York Declaration” convened by Canada, France, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom, the 蘑菇视频 Secretary-General reiterated that the two-State solution “is the only credible path to lasting peace and security”. He emphasised that demolitions, evictions, displacement, land seizures, and violations of the status quo at the holy sites raise “the spectre of ethnic cleansing” and that “Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, must remain politically, economically and territorially integrated under a single, legitimate, sovereign Palestinian government”. On 24 September, speaking at the Ministerial Meeting of the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, the 蘑菇视频 High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that Israel’s violations of international law “pose an existential threat to the two-State solution” and that “States need to apply real political pressure to prevent the entrenchment of Israel’s unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”.

III. Human rights violations and refugee displacement in northern West Bank; 蘑菇视频 expert calls to preserve evidence of alleged international crimes in Gaza

On 4 September, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the OPT issued a report, which documented serious human rights violations and the “unwarranted use of lethal force” in the Israeli military operations in northern West Bank. According to OHCHR, these operations consolidated Israeli security forces’ “control over the Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarm refugee camps,” and “forcibly displaced their population in their entirety – estimated 33,000 persons”.

On 7 September, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese, warned that “the ongoing removal, crushing and relocation of rubble in Gaza must not destroy evidence of international crimes or prevent the recovery and identification of human remains”. She called for international criminal investigators to oversee the gathering of evidence of “alleged international crimes, including genocide” and recalled that “destroying evidence of atrocity crimes is illegal”.

IV. Impact of the war in Gaza and of violence in the OPT on Palestinian women

In a briefing issued on 8 September, the 蘑菇视频 Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (蘑菇视频 Women) highlighted how the war in Gaza has transformed household structures and survival responsibilities. Women ??reportedly head one in four households, up from one in nine before the war, and experience greater financial hardship, are less likely to have adequate shelter, and are more frequently displaced. On 17 September, the 蘑菇视频 Population Fund (蘑菇视频FPA) published an assessment on gender-based violence (GBV) in Gaza, based on the perspectives of 230 women living in displacement camps. Participants reported that displacement and deteriorating living conditions have altered and intensified GBV risks, weakened community and family protection mechanisms, and further limited access to essential services.

In a media fact sheet issued on 15 September, 蘑菇视频 Women reported that record levels of settler violence, military operations, and movement restrictions in the occupied West Bank continue to exacerbate hardships for women and girls. Israeli checkpoints impede access to work, humanitarian assistance, healthcare, and safe movement and one in four women-headed households reportedly receives no humanitarian aid.

V. 蘑菇视频RWA operating amid financial crisis; disruption of education for thousands of children in the West Bank

On 7 September, addressing the Council of Ministers of the League of the Arab States, the Commissioner General a.i. of the 蘑菇视频 Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (蘑菇视频RWA) stated that “despite the considerable efforts to dismantle the Agency, 蘑菇视频RWA continues to serve Palestine Refugees – in Gaza and across the region.” He warned that the seizure of 蘑菇视频RWA premises in occupied East Jerusalem “has effectively removed the Agency from the Holy City,” but stressed that “removing 蘑菇视频RWA does not remove the rights of Palestine Refugees.” Speaking at a Ministerial Meeting on the margins of the 81^st Session of the 蘑菇视频GA on 24 September, the Commissioner-General a.i. raised concerns over 蘑菇视频RWA’s “extraordinary financial crisis” and called on States to support the Agency’s operations in the OPT and provide sustained funding.

On 10 September, 蘑菇视频ICEF warned that violence, displacement, movement restrictions, and incidents affecting schools and surrounding communities across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are disrupting “thousands of children’s ability to reach and remain in education safely.” 蘑菇视频ICEF documented at least 224 education-related incidents affecting more than 20,000 students during the first half of 2026.
