Israeli Human Rights Organization Condemns Former Spy Chief's Comments on Gaza

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

A leading Israeli human rights organization, B'Tselem, has condemned the recent comments made by the former spy chief of the Israeli military, Aharon Haliva, in which he openly justified large-scale Palestinian deaths in Gaza. Haliva suggested that 50 Palestinians must die for each Israeli killed by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas during the Operation al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, 2023. This shocking statement reveals a deliberate policy of genocide, which Israel has been carrying out for 22 months, systematically destroying Palestinian life in Gaza. The Israeli military conducts deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on Gaza as directed by its commanders, with no recognition of “uninvolved civilians” and every Palestinian being considered a target.
