The commission is scheduled to formally present its report to the UN Human Rights Council on next Monday, June 29, in Geneva.

MK Aida Touma-Sliman (Hadash – Joint List) expressed support for the report, calling the operation conducted by the Israeli army (“Operation Protective Edge”) an “ugly war…that cost the lives of about 1,500 Palestinian civilians, including about 500 children, and left over 10,000 people homeless and thousands injured.” Touma-Sliman added: “War crimes of this kind require the report to be submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and for war criminals to be put on trial to avoid the continuing trampling of human dignity and liberty that happened in Gaza in 2014 and continues in the occupied territories every day.”
