Unfortunately, makes no mention of Hamas. So, likely to go nowhere. Someone has to think harder.

There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, says Israeli ambassador​

Israel's ambassador to the UK has suggested there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

I could post a really graphic image to disprove this, but instead I know that the one above will always have the final say. The day will come when no wali will be available and no intercession accepted. :-)

There are members on this forum that have stated "IDF can take on the entire middle east and win" 😭 😭 :omghaha::omghaha:

Maybe, just maybe in a conventional war but even then the last time it happened (1973), Israelis needed the Americans.
Arabs are not stupid to fight a conventional war anymore.

Still all hat and no cattle. Israel wants something more, far more, than name calling, for the war to slow down, let alone stop.

Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel (A/78/198) [EN/AR/RU/ZH]​

Seventy-eighth session
Item 73 of the provisional agenda*
Promotion and protection of human rights

Summary

The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel hereby submits its second report to the General Assembly. The report examines the use of force by Israel and the de facto authorities in Gaza.

Introduction and methodology

  1. In its previous report to the General Assembly (A/77/328), the Commission found reasonable grounds to conclude that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is now unlawful under international law, owing to its permanence and to actions undertaken by Israel to annex parts of the land de facto and de jure . The Commission focused the present report on the use of force in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and in Israel, examining practices and policies, analysing the human rights and legal consequences of force used and identifying root causes of recurring violence and protracted conflict.
  2. The report is based on interviews conducted with primary and secondary sources up to 31 July 2023, open-source research, meetings with stakeholders, public hearings and submissions received following a call issued on 2 November 2022.
  3. In selecting cases for in-depth analysis in the present report, the Commission identified emblematic cases that took place on or after May 2021 that are representative of a wider trend. Information that met the criteria of reliability and authenticity was included and analysed under the standard of proof of “reasonable grounds to conclude”.
  4. The Commission sent requests for information to Israel, the State of Palestine and the United States of America. The State of Palestine provided the Commission with information. No response was received from Israel or the United States. In articulating the Israeli position on actions reviewed in the present report, the Commission relied only on available official documents and open sources. Israel continues to fail to respond to the Commission’s request to grant access to its territory and to the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
