The ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, as highlighted by United Nations experts, could lead to increased geopolitical instability, potentially impacting global energy markets and defense sector investments. The accusations against Israel of grave breaches of international humanitarian law may lead to international sanctions or diplomatic pressure, affecting its economic relations and investor confidence.
United Nations experts have expressed grave concern over Israeli military attacks on sites sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and renewed patterns of forced displacement in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. These actions, which include airstrikes and artillery shelling, have resulted in significant casualties and widespread destruction, affecting 92% of housing in the Gaza Strip and displacing over 36,000 Palestinians in the West Bank in 2025. The experts warn that these practices constitute crimes against humanity and are part of a broader policy of ethnic cleansing. They have urged Israel to cease all forcible transfers, protect Palestinian communities, facilitate safe returns, and ensure unimpeded humanitarian access, including by lifting restrictions on UNRWA and other NGOs. The International — International Criminal Court and the International — United Nations General Assembly have previously called for Israel to end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
