In my case I like to take a nice shower, to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes till it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.

    Defense Minister Israel Katz clarifies that Israel has no intention of resuming humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip at this stage.

    “As I mentioned in my statement, Israel’s policy is clear and no humanitarian aid is about to enter Gaza,” he says.

    He says preventing aid from entering Gaza is “one of the main tools” used to pressure Hamas, “in addition to the other steps that Israel is taking.”

      If and when Israel allows for aid, it would be exclusively delivered by private military security companies operating on its behalf (Read: the militarization of humanitarian response in order to accomplish military objectives in breach of principles of neutrality, independence and impartiality).

      By doing so, #Israel hopes to evade responsibility for grave breaches of #IHL codified as war crimes (e.g., the destruction of property, the starvation of the civilian population, and its forcible transfer). However, The ’Montreux Document on pertinent international legal obligations and good practices for States related to operations of private military and security companies during armed conflict’ establishes that governmental officials, whether they are military commanders or civilian superiors, or directors or managers of PMSCs, may be liable for crimes under international law committed by PMSC personnel under their effective authority and control.

      Art. A(1) of the Montreux Document, which foresaw an occupant, such as Israel, offloading responsibilities, holds that occupying powers, even if they contract PMSCs to perform certain activities, have an obligation to take all measures in their power to restore, and ensure public order and safety, i.e., exercise vigilance in preventing violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law.
