We, at AL-MEZAN Center for Human Rights, stress again that the Israeli siege upon the Palestinian Occupied Territories, destruction of properties, and intentional killing of Palestinian civilians constitute, according to the international law, war crimes.
Based on this, we stress our previous requests that the international community should fulfill its legal obligations towards the Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by providing international protection.
The non commitment to do so can only be viewed as a reward for the crime perpetrated.
