Escalating Tensions in Israel and Gaza Foreshadow More Mass Atrocities

Warning signs, including unlawful attacks, repression, and dehumanizing rhetoric, have been present for some time. The Israeli military response and Hamas-led attacks have demonstrated a willingness to commit atrocities. The international community must respond effectively to prevent further loss of civilian life and hold those responsible for international crimes accountable.
