Gaza\u2019s destruction is staggering, with almost 2 million Palestinians displaced and civilian housing and infrastructure in ruins. The physical, economic, and social reconstruction of Gaza is required, and Israel has a duty to provide reparations for its wrongful acts. Israel\u2019s illegal blockade of Gaza and its ban on UNRWA\u2019s Gaza activities must also be immediately ended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Third is Israel\u2019s continuing illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and apartheid practices, which must end consistent with the ICJ\u2019s relevant advisory opinion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, Israel\u2019s government must immediately end ongoing violations in Gaza and it and the international community must ensure criminal accountability, including respecting the ICC arrest warrants, given substantial evidence of genocide, forced mass displacement, and targeting of civilians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We call on the Israeli government to immediately end its violence against Palestinians and address these four concerns and on states to take appropriate measures pressuring them to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HRN gave an oral statement on 20 March 2025 at the Human Rights Council in Geneva condemning the Israeli government&#8217;s violation of the Gaza ceasefire and raising four issues of deep concern that it must confront in order to ensure a lasting and just peace based on international law.
