The use of facial recognition technology by Israeli authorities to control and monitor Palestinians living in Israel and the occupied territories has been a contentious issue. Amnesty International, a global human rights organization, recently published a report that highlights the unlawful surveillance and control carried out by Israeli authorities using this technology. According to the report, facial recognition technology is being used in various ways, including the identification of Palestinians for arrest and interrogation, monitoring of Palestinian neighborhoods, tracking of individuals during protests and demonstrations, and restricting Palestinian access to public spaces and movement.

Amnesty International argues that the use of facial recognition technology by Israeli authorities constitutes a form of discrimination and a breach of privacy rights, which violates international human rights law. The organization is calling for a ban on the use of this technology by Israeli authorities, and greater protection of the rights of Palestinians.

The report cites several cases of individuals who have been subjected to this type of surveillance and control, including a Palestinian man who was arrested and detained for several days after being identified through facial recognition technology. The man was accused of participating in a protest, but he maintains that he was not involved.

The use of facial recognition technology in Israel has been a subject of much debate and criticism, with many human rights organizations arguing that this technology is inherently flawed and has the potential to be used in discriminatory ways. This technology has been known to produce false positives, especially when used on individuals with darker skin tones, leading to the wrongful arrest and detention of innocent individuals. Furthermore, the technology has been criticized for its lack of transparency and accountability, with concerns raised about the potential for abuse by law enforcement agencies.
