Israel trying to 'eliminate' living conditions for Palestinians in occupied West Bank, says report

Israel is systematically trying to "eliminate" living conditions for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to a new report by a rights group. B'tselem said constant attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers were part of an overall government-backed plan to make life unbearable for Palestinians. According to the report, titled The Elimination Project, Israel is “dramatically intensifying its attacks on every aspect of Palestinian life in the West Bank”, including “the ability to get to work, take children to school or university, receive medical treatment or municipal services, meet family and friends, cultivate land or go on vacation … routine activities that make up human life”.
