The occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel and discrimination against the Palestinian population are “the main causes” of recurring tensions and instability, estimates a commission of inquiry mandated by the Council of Human Rights of the Human Rights The United Nations (UN) in a report published Tuesday, June 7.
“The conclusions and recommendations linked to the deep causes [of this conflict] point in their immense majority to Israel, which we analyze as an indicator of the asymmetrical nature of the conflict and the reality of one state which occupies another “, Writes the president of this commission, the South African and former High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navanethem Pillay.
Israel, who refused to cooperate with the Commission, said, for its part, “that the report is biased and biased, disqualified by its hatred for the State of Israel and based on a long series of partial reports and biased “, according to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Israel denounces” lethal terrorist organizations “
“Put an end to the occupation of territories by Israel, in full compliance with the resolutions of the Security Council, remains crucial to put an end to the persistent cycle of violence”, can be read in this first report written by this commission .
What has become a situation of perpetual occupation was cited by Palestinian stakeholders as Israeli as one of the roots of recurring tensions, instability and extension of a conflict as well in the Palestinian territories occupied, including East Jerusalem, in Israel.
The report specifies that the 18 -page document was submitted before publication to the Palestinian authorities as Israeli. The International Commission was mandated last year by the Human Rights Council to investigate the alleged human rights violations committed in the Palestinian territories and in Israel, since April 13, 2021.
The Hebrew State, which accuses M pillay of being “an anti-Israel activist”, still believes that the investigation “ignored the real reasons which led Israel to defend his Citizens against lethal terrorist organizations who commit a double war crime: shoot Israeli civilians from civil zones in Gaza “.
Recommendations” largely ignored “
The commission was set up following the “11 -day war” that Israel delivered and Hamas in May 2021, during which 260 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to the authorities local. In Israel, the rocket fire from Gaza left thirteen dead, including a soldier, according to the police and the army.
For the time being, the Commission has reviewed the many already existing recommendations and resolutions, but it has stressed that it should conduct its own investigation. However, M Pillay believes that these past recommendations “have been widely ignored, including the calls for Israel accounts for violations of humanitarian law and human rights, everything Like the blind rocket fire against Israel by Palestinian armed groups “.
“It is this lack of implementation coupled with a sense of impunity as well as the very clear evidence that Israel has no intention of ending the occupation and permanent discrimination against the Palestinians who are at the heart of these repeated violations as well in the occupied Palestinian territories, including in East Jerusalem, in Israel, “accuses the president. To denounce the publication of the report, around twenty students and reservists of the Israeli army demonstrated Tuesday before the United Nations headquarters in Geneva.
