Is Israel violating the Geneva Convention?
In light of the recent security escalation in Jerusalem, Israel has resumed its house demolition policy, violating international law.
The Israeli government decided Oct. 13 to speed up demolition of the houses of Palestinians it holds responsible for stabbing attacks. It also has approved other penalties that include not releasing the bodies of the Palestinians who were killed to their families and withdrawing Israeli citizenship from these families in East Jerusalem and the 1948 territories.
Israel has continued to withhold, since Oct. 1, the bodies of seven dead from Jerusalem.
