Origins of the Conflict in Gaza and East Jerusalem
Recent fighting in Gaza started with Israeli court-ordered evictions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, leading to protests. Hamas targeted Israel in response to these evictions. As an occupying power, Israel must adhere to international law, but its actions have violated laws governing protected populations. The conflict highlighted unequal power dynamics and provoked international scrutiny of Israel's compliance with legal obligations.
