Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms strongly condemns the deliberate withdrawal of the Israeli entity from the preliminary agreements reached in the Gaza Strip — a move supported and encouraged by the U.S. administration — and the resumption of its brutal aerial assault on the Strip, which has resulted in the killing of more than 430 Palestinians, including dozens of women and children, and the injury of over 530 others. These massacres add to the dark record of the occupation’s crimes against humanity.
We consider these criminal acts committed by Israel in Gaza to be a blatant violation of numerous international legal provisions that criminalize such actions. Chief among them are: Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which protects civilians from attacks that target or harm them; Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which criminalizes attacks by occupying forces against civilian populations; and Article 51 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits indiscriminate attacks that harm civilians or damage civilian infrastructure — in addition to other relevant international legal and humanitarian provisions.
Based on the above, these Israeli attacks represent a clear violation of international humanitarian law and human rights. The international community must shoulder its legal and moral responsibility toward what is happening in Gaza.
We urgently call on the international community and all humanitarian and human rights organizations to take firm and effective measures to stop these ongoing crimes, to pressure the Israeli entity to halt its aggression immediately, and to ensure full compliance with international law — including respect for human rights and the protection of civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The time has come to apply the necessary pressure on Israel to end this brutal aggression, hold those responsible accountable, ensure such crimes are not repeated, and provide immediate protection for Palestinian civilians.
