"Israeli actions in Gaza amount to genocide," argues a former PLO legal advisor.
Diana Buttu, a Palestinian lawyer and former legal counselor to the Palestine Liberation Organization, has criticized Israeli military activities in Gaza. She believes that displacing civilians without providing bare essentials is prohibited under international law. Buttu emphasized the relevance of international legal processes in dealing with the problem, ongoing legal developments, and their potential long-term implications. She questioned Israel's professed intentions, accusing them of committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Despite Israel's claims to limit civilian losses, Buttu noted extensive bombing of hospitals and schools as proof of genocide on the ground. She also spoke about Israel's strategic goals and the ongoing battle in Gaza, highlighting Palestinian resilience against Israeli forces and exploring the potential use of military activities as bargaining chips in cease-fire negotiations.
