The International Commission to Support Palestinians’ Rights (ICSPR) Strongly condemns the Israeli occupation forces’ killing of Palestinian civilians, particularly Palestinian peaceful demonstrators, As a direct result of the international silence on the grave crimes and violations committed by the Israeli occupying forces in the occupied Palestinian territory, As the Israeli army continues to be immune to international accountability and justice.

3- ICSPR Urge the Palestinian diplomacy to exert more efforts to inform the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court of the facts of these crimes and to urge them to make further efforts to complete their preliminary studies and move forward towards the opening of an international investigation of international crimes committed by the occupation forces.
4- Invites the international community and the contracting parties to the Geneva Convention to recognize the urgent and urgent action taken by the Israeli occupation forces against their repeated actions in Gaza Strip.
