Amnesty International has suspended its Israel branch for two years after the branch criticized the organization's reports on Israel and allegedly excluded Palestinians. The suspension comes in response to evidence of anti-Palestinian racism within Amnesty Israel and its misalignment with Amnesty's positions. Amnesty Israel had rejected the organization's findings accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, arguing that the allegation had not been sufficiently substantiated. Anonymous sources within Amnesty International disagreed with claims that the Israel branch was hostile to criticism, stating that the branch had been critical of both the Israeli government and Palestinian bodies. Amnesty International will discuss the suspension on January 21 and a Review Committee will determine the branch's future within the organization.
