Abstract:
The Gaza war should serve to upend the existing order and usher in a new regional order. This transformation will be reflected in a new regional framework that relies on the normalization process between Israel and the Arab world, spearheaded by Saudi Arabia. The great war against the axis of evil should not stop there. Israel and the free world must continue the relentless pursuit of the leaders of terrorist organizations and their operatives worldwide.

Abstract:
The ongoing armed conflict in Gaza has given rise to a great humanitarian crisis and a great threat to international peace and security. Hamas’ murderous attacks on Israel and the taking of hostages are grave violations of the law of armed conflict and constitute war crimes. Israel claims that it is not acting in self-defence under the jus ad bellum; instead, it asserts that the legal framework governing its action is the law of armed conflict governing the conduct of hostilities. Israel insists that it is in compliance with international humanitarian law. However, its interpretation of the relevant rules and its understanding of their scope are a matter of contentious debate.
