American-born Jessica Montell said she is stepping down as Executive Director of the leftwing B’Tselem organization with satisfaction that the 25-year-old group has grown into a ”large, strong organization.”

She emphasized B’Tselem’s campaign against what she called  “severe violations of human rights in” in Judea and Samaria, referred to by her as “ the Occupied Territories.”
