'''B'Tselem (, ; ; ), also known as the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories''', is a Jerusalem-based Israeli nonprofit organization aiming to document human rights violations in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, combat any denial of the existence of such violations, and help create a human rights culture in Israel. It is headed by Yuli Novak, who took over in June 2023 from Hagai El-Ad. B'Tselem also maintains a presence in Washington, D.C., where it is known as '''B'Tselem USA'''. The organization is controversial within Israel, with reactions ranging from harsh criticism to strong praise.
==Overview== B'Tselem was established in February 1989 by a group of Israeli lawyers, doctors and academics with the support of a lobby of ten members of Knesset. Its objective was to document human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories (the Gaza Strip and the West Bank), while committing to the security and humanistic character of the State of Israel. In the previous year, Israeli forces had killed 311 Palestinians, of whom 53 were under the age of 17. The killings occurred during a wave of Palestinian protest and rebellion in which 12 Israelis were also killed. The rebellion is referred to as the First Intifada.
