Hawzah News Agency- Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq has called on the international community to ensure that Israel complies with the ceasefire agreement to end fighting in Gaza that was announced on Thursday.
In a lengthy statement, Al-Haq said that Israel has “given no indication that it will ever abide by the fundamentals of international law nor respect the human rights of Palestinians”. Therefore, it is imperative that the international community take action.
The rights organization said the international community must compel respect for the ceasefire and international law by imposing an arms embargo and economic sanctions on Israel.
Forensic experts, international media, international humanitarian organizations and foreign diplomatic missions must also be given access to Gaza, Al-Haq said.
The international community must “use all means at their disposal to force Israel to comply with international law by dismantling its settler colonial apartheid regime, guaranteeing the right of return of refugees, and ceasing the closure of the Gaza Strip”, it said.
