The Geneva Conventions establish legal requirements to protect civilians during warfare, which both sides are obligated to follow, despite Israel’s brutal surprise attack on 7 October 2023.

Prime Minister Netanyahu may be prolonging the conflict for political gain, amid accusations of war crimes and a potential genocide case pending at the International Court of Justice.
