Palestinians are outlawed: Israeli soldiers and settlers have been getting away with killing civilians in the occupied West Bank since 2019. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert therefore calls on the International Criminal Court in The Hague to take action.
It's always the same string. If an Israeli military or illegal settler kills a Palestinian citizen on the West Bank, the Israeli authorities say they are investigating. Then it stays quiet. .
An investigation may, of course, take a while, but in Israel it has not been condemned in any way throughout the decade. That's what The Guardian's research shows. The British newspaper analysed Israeli data and court documents. The spit work shows that no Israeli has been convicted of killing a Palestinian citizen since 2019.

> The truth is that a law enforcement system that genuinely strives to hold soldiers accountable when they kill, humiliate, or abuse Palestinians has never existed in Israel, or at least not for several decades... what exists is a system that effectively provides immunity for soldiers when their victims are Palestinians, and even strives for that outcome...rare instances of accountability that the system does produce are intended to conceal this reality
