Former UN General Assembly President speaks to Mark Seddon on Monday 24th May.

“Before I go to the battle itself, as you asked about international law, as you yourself made clear, Israel as an occupying power, has to obey the law which makes clear that the protected population has to be protected against forcible transfer of it under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. And this is what Israel has been doing, not just now but in fact for years.”

Jan Kavan speaks to Mark Seddon on Monday 24th May:

It is not proportionate at all. Despite what Israel claims, many buildings, about one thousand buildings, have been destroyed, but many of them cannot be described as military targets at all.”
