Abstract

This paper argues that the Israeli occupation authorities in the Gaza strip committed several crimes that exceeded the level of genocide and the Palestinian people’s right to existence, according to many international law experts and international human rights organizations. Articles 2, 3, and 4 of Resolution No. 260 A (III) issued on December 9, 1948, which prohibits and punishes genocide, were violated. However, among others, the researcher concluded that, the Palestinian Authority should focus on now is the urgent collection of all evidence and documents and anything that can help the ICJ uncover Israel’s crimes against Palestinian civilians in Gaza as a prelude to initiating an international criminal investigation to hold Israel accountable for committing complete genocide under the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in Resolution (A/RES/96-I) 194.
