There is no doubt that the prevailing outbreak of violence between the Israeli and the Palestinian militant group Hamas had left several numbers of persons dead and many injured.
There is no doubt that the prevailing outbreak of violence between the Israeli and the Palestinian militant group Hamas has left several numbers of persons dead and many injured.
However, in 2005, the Israelis withdrew their troops and settlers though retained control over the airspace and land border of Gaza. In 2007, Hamas took full control of Gaza following Israel’s withdrawal, and not until the present, the rhythm of the Israeli-Hamas conflict has become increasingly routine with regular Hamas terrorism followed by predictable Israeli- reprisals.
So far, many civilians have already been killed on both sides and if there are continued pressures through the ground campaign, there could be more casualties on the two sides. How parties would shield their sword will depend on the measures of resolution adopted by the two sides. In generality, under article 2.4 of the United Nations Charter, the use of force should not be an alternative to peaceful means of resolving the current conflict. Whether this provision applies to both parties will be one of such nature to be argued by the various schools of thought.
The implication of this definition in its entirety surpasses the weight attached to the presumed existence of the Israeli occupier in Gaza. This is to say that the withdrawal of Israel from Gaza in 2005 is evident that Israel is no longer an occupier of Gaza in spite of its control of the airspace and land border. In view of the foregoing, Israel’s involvement with Hamas going by Article 3 could only be given the status of non-international armed conflict.
Saudi Arabia may be privately supportive of Israel’s effort to quash Hamas due to the disdain they have against Iran which may likely support Hamas. However, the Arabs under pressure from the Muslim population may support the Palestinian people especially as images from the media will highlight the death and destruction in Gaza and potentially Lebanon. Israel on the other hand will be protected and covered with the protection of the Western nations like the United States and the European Union.
