"Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has pushed the plight of the Palestinian people to the forefront of global attention. For more than two years, the world has witnessed the mass killing, disease and starvation imposed upon the enclave by Israel. Faced with a sense of helplessness, calls have grown for boycotts of Israeli goods, for companies profiting from Israel or its settlements in the occupied West Bank to divest, and for politicians to expand sanctions that some have already imposed on Israeli ministers."
"The war on Gaza has led to Israel facing unprecedented condemnation from around the world. Israel has moved closer to pariah status for its attacks not just in Gaza killing more than 70,000 Palestinians but in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East. The country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant now find themselves facing International Criminal Court arrest warrants for war crimes."
The Gaza conflict has produced mass killing, disease and starvation across the enclave for more than two years. Calls for boycotts, corporate divestment and expanded sanctions have grown in response to the humanitarian catastrophe. Global attention has shifted toward other crises, creating a challenge for sustained pressure on Israel and its occupation. Israel faces widespread international condemnation and growing isolation for attacks in Gaza, Lebanon and elsewhere. Senior Israeli figures face International Criminal Court arrest warrants, and some far-right ministers have been sanctioned by foreign governments. The International Court of Justice has judged that genocide may plausibly be occurring.
