Childhood in Custody: High-Level Dialogue on Palestinian Children in Military Detention.


Organized by: Save the Children International, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Ireland, State of Palestine.

Before the escalation of the conflict in Gaza in October 2023, the detention of Palestinian children by Israeli military authorities was already a longstanding human rights concern. An estimated 500 to 700 children from the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, were detained each year prior to October 2023, in a system widely reported to lack basic due-process protections for minors. Detention has since risen sharply.

The UN Secretary-General's most recent report on children and armed conflict verified 981 Palestinian children detained by Israeli forces in 2025, including 180 held in administrative detention without charge or trial as of 31 December 2025—with additional children transferred from Gaza and held under the "unlawful combatant" designation. As of May 2026, at least 347 Palestinian children were held in Israeli military detention on security-related charges—the highest number in eight years.

Observance of the 2025 International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

Every year on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, UN Member States stand together in a moment of reflection and renewed commitment to peace. This year's commemoration will take place amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza following unimaginable violence and a humanitarian catastrophe that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands and forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands more. Secretary-General's remarks, to be delivered by Mr. Courtenay Rattray, Chef de Cabinet Solidarity Day commemorates the adoption on 29 November 1947 of General Assembly Resolution 181, which envisaged the partition of Mandate Palestine into two states - one Arab and one Jewish - with Jerusalem under United Nations administration. Over seven decades later, after numerous wars and ongoing conflict, the hope for lasting peace in the Middle East remains unfulfilled. Today, the need for a durable solution is more urgent than ever. On this solemn day, the international community, led...
