A Human Rights Watch group based in the United States has accused Israel of crimes against humanity in the forceful displacement of the people in Gaza by ethnic cleansing and evacuation orders.
The United States human rights group disclosed this in a report published on Wednesday accusing Israel of breaking the Geneva Convention law and a crime under the Rome statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The published report titled ‘Hopeless, Starving, and Besieged’: ‘Israel Forceful Displacement of Palestinians in Gaza’ the report revealed “the war crime of forcible transfer of the civilian population”.
The report was published after grave evidence was gathered from Gaza that the Israeli government was working on dividing the Gaza Strip into two parts with a protection zone to shelter new Israeli settlers in Gaza after the war.
The Israeli government is also building new infrastructure to support its plans for a prolonged military campaign in Gaza, and also with an increased act of demolitions and destruction of the entire Gaza Strip.
The Israeli forces have besieged and displaced thousands of Palestinian families and the remaining population, which has been estimated by Human Rights organizations to be over a thousand.
The displaced families have been ordered to head south through a military checkpoint that separates two towns and a refugee camp from Gaza City.
The Israeli forceful besiege and displacement have led to the removal of over 1.9 million Palestinians and the widespread destruction of a considerable area of Gaza over the last year since
The United States-based human rights have Called for Israel’s enforced policy of forceful displacement to be investigated by the International Criminal Court (ICC), while Human Rights Watch has also urged targeted sanctions against Israel and a ban on arms sales.
However, the Human Rights Reports have been contrary to the State Department of the United States that revealed that Israel has not broken any American law regarding the blockage of aid supplies after the lapse of a 30-day deadline it gave Israel to increase humanitarian aid access to Gaza or face some military assistance cut off.
