📌 Some of the new government’s early actions, including the forced eviction, ordinance to dilute the independence of the constitutional council, appear to violate housing rights and due process protections, and show an alarming disregard for procedure and the rule of law.

"Victims and survivors of crimes that were committed during the conflict have waited far too long for justice, while the culture of impunity that took root in that period has contributed to ongoing violations including the killing of Gen-Z protesters" - @mandira36 Regional Director of @ICJ_Asia

After more than 1,100 Israelis were killed in the Hamas terror attacks of 7 October, after more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, haven’t we seen enough?

Haven’t civilians suffered enough death & destruction?

The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid.
