Contrary to claims by Israeli officials their actions do not comply with the laws of war

Israeli forces have carried out deliberate controlled demolitions of homes and civilian infrastructure including in areas where they have apparent aims of creating buffer zones and security corridors from which Palestinians are likely to be permanently displaced

The report examines how Israeli authorities’ conduct has led to the displacement of over 90 percent of Gaza’s population 19 million Palestinians and the widespread destruction of much of Gaza over the last 13 months

The International Criminal Court prosecutor should investigate Israel’s forced displacement and prevention of the right to return as a crime against humanity

Military evacuation orders have caused grave harm rather than ensuring civilians’ security

Governments should adopt targeted sanctions and other measures and halt weapons sales to Israel
