Introduction
Operation al-Aqsa Flood, launched on October 7, 2023, not only activated multiple fault lines within Palestine but also across the wider region, resulting in profound fractures. The operation produced several significant consequences, including Israel’s growing isolation on the global stage, the derailment of normalization with Arab states, and the eruption of mass demonstrations in the West. However, above all these developments, the most significant reality of the war is undoubtedly the massacres and genocide carried out by Israel against the Palestinians. Since the beginning of the war, more than 60,000 people have lost their lives, including nearly 20,000 children, while over 100,000 others have been injured. Moreover, over the past 22 months, the entire world has witnessed Israel demolishing health complexes, UN institutions, schools, civilian shelters, and even mosques and churches. In the face of Israel’s blatant violations of international and humanitarian law, the institutions and organizations responsible for upholding global order and peace have been rendered ineffective.
