Gaza Ceasefire Sparks Urgent Warnings from Human Rights Experts

Source: Despite Gaza ceasefire, ‘we haven’t seen the worst’: B’Tselem chief (2025-11-22)

Despite a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, human rights advocates warn that the region remains on the brink of catastrophe. Yuli Novak, executive director of B’Tselem, emphasizes that the conditions leading to potential genocide persist due to ongoing lack of accountability and worsening humanitarian crises. While the ceasefire has temporarily reduced violence, recent developments reveal that the underlying issues—such as displacement, destruction of infrastructure, and political instability—are intensifying. The situation is compounded by recent facts: over 80% of Gaza’s population relies on humanitarian aid, the UN reports a record number of displaced Palestinians living in tents, and the Israeli military continues to operate beyond established “yellow lines,” escalating tensions. Additionally, recent intelligence indicates that the risk of escalation into broader regional conflict remains high, with neighboring countries like Lebanon and Egypt on high alert. The Biden administration has pledged increased diplomatic efforts, but critics argue that without accountability for war crimes and a sustainable peace process, the cycle of violence will persist. The international community faces mounting pressure to address root causes, including settlement expansion, blockade policies, and human rights violations, to prevent further deterioration. As the conflict’s complexity deepens, experts warn that unless decisive action is taken, Gaza’s “disaster” could escalate into a wider regional crisis, threatening stability across the Middle East and beyond.
