‘Only the beginning’ says Netanyahu
Nothing can justify the horrific attacks Israel suffered last week. But those attacks cannot justify an unlimited destruction of Gaza and its people. The imposition of sieges that endanger the lives of civilians by depriving them of electricity, food and water is prohibited under international humanitarian law, as are indiscriminate military attacks and forced deportation of people.
Gaza is a small, closed, and besieged area that is being bombarded, with nowhere safe to go. All parties must immediately cease violations of international law, respect human dignity, provide civilians safe passage, and allow humanitarian agencies to reach those trapped in this conflict.
The international community must shoulder its responsibility to address the root causes of the current escalation, including five decades of occupation and annexation pursued by Israel, and identify viable paths to prevent further violations of international law, human suffering, and bloodshed.
Terrorism is never and never will be an answer to terrorism.
