B’Tselem Executive Director Yuli Novak said: « Israel’s complete disregard for international law in the war in Gaza is now being replicated to the West Bank, at this stage mainly in the north. The military activity there, as yet on a smaller scale than in Gaza, is already causing indiscriminate and disproportionate killing and destruction. In 15 months of war in Gaza, the government’s actions made it clear that Israel has no intention of fulfilling its obligations under international law. It is likely to continue blatantly flaunting its duty to protect lives and human rights, and to uphold basic moral and humanitarian standards, unless the Israeli leadership is held truly accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people”.
