‘Nowhere Is Protected in Gaza’: South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide

“No armed assault on a state territory, irrespective of how critical, even an assault involving atrocity crimes, can present any justification for, or protection to, breaches to the conference, whether or not as a matter of legislation or morality. Israel’s response to the seventh of October 2023 assault has crossed this line and gave rise to the breaches of the conference.” “For the previous 96 days, Israel has subjected Gaza to what has been described as one of many heaviest typical bombing campaigns within the historical past of contemporary warfare. Palestinians in Gaza are being killed by Israeli weaponry and bombs from air, land and sea. They’re additionally at rapid threat of dying by hunger, dehydration and illness because of the continuing siege. The extent of Israel’s killing is so intensive that nowhere is secure in Gaza.”
