History

Historical Context

Amnesty International's report on Israel's actions in Gaza echoes historical patterns of international condemnation during conflicts. Similar accusations arose during the 2008-2009 Gaza War, when Israel faced scrutiny for civilian casualties. The International Criminal Court's involvement reflects a growing trend since the 1990s, where global bodies increasingly hold nations accountable for alleged war crimes and human rights violations, particularly in protracted conflicts.
