“Both Palestinian men and women have endured decades of suffering due to the violence stemming from the Zionist occupation.

Dear Ms. Menegon,

Ramallah - ADDAMEER: Since the beginning of the military operation launched by the occupation against the Palestinian people in various locations, events have escalated gradually, leading to a significant increase in violations by the occupying authorities against Palestinians

On 19 October 2023, 100 civil society organisations (CSOs), including Palestinian organisations monitoring and documenting violations of international humanitarian law against Palestinian civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip, and Genocide Scholars sent a letter to Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. The letter urged Prosecutor Khan’s immediate intervention in relation to the latest Israeli large-scale military offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Today, world leaders meet in Cairo against the backdrop of a context of violence and repression by Israel against the Palestinian people that has not been seen in decades. With this letter we wish to address you about the dire, man-made humanitarian catastrophe that is currently plaguing more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
