War Crimes, West Bank Attacks, & Global Tensions Rise

The United Nations has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing war crimes in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher, while Israeli settlers injured dozens of Palestinians in a wave of attacks in the occupied West Bank, according to reports released on Friday, February 13, 2026. Simultaneously, Cuba grappled with fuel shortages exacerbated by the US blockade, and pressure mounted on tech platforms to censor content related to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights stated in a report that there are "reasonable grounds to believe the RSF and allied armed groups committed acts amounting to war crimes" during their takeover of el-Fasher last year. The report, released on Friday, did not specify the exact nature of the alleged crimes. In the West Bank, at least 54 Palestinians were wounded as Israeli settlers attacked several towns and villages, destroying olive trees and vandalizing property, according to Al Jazeera. These attacks occurred under the protection of the Israeli military.

Meanwhile, Cuba faced a deepening energy crisis due to fuel shortages. Aviation authorities warned of limited jet fuel supplies, leading to potential disruptions for long-haul flights. Public transport stalled, and banks reduced their operating hours. Mexico pledged diplomatic efforts to help resume oil shipments, according to Euronews.

In other news, tech companies faced increasing pressure to censor content related to ICE. Advocates alleged that platforms were bending to demands from Trump officials to remove information about ICE critics, claiming that ICE officers were being doxed or otherwise endangered. Early lawsuits showed that platforms had complied, even though experts said they could refuse these demands without a court order, as reported by Ars Technica.

Adding to the complexities, a schism appeared to be forming between Donald Trump and Israel. Trump criticized Israeli President Isaac Herzog, stating he should be "ashamed of himself" for failing to pardon someone, according to Sky News. This divergence raised concerns about potential shifts in US policy towards the region.
