‘Illegal’ to bomb hospitals: ex-spox to PLO Diana Buttu

Diana Buttu, a Palestinian lawyer and former spokesperson of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), in a conversation with Al Jazeera said:

  • It is illegal to bomb a hospital and the Israelis know this
  • They’ve been trying to get rabbis to sign on to letters to say it’s okay to bomb a hospital
  • This is absolutely a violation of international law
  • We’re witnessing a genocide on our screens
  • The world must step in now to stop this
  • I will be surprised if we don’t reach a much higher death toll by the end of the day
  • All of this comes as Israel recently promised a four-hour pause in fighting
  • The idea that Palestinians are pawns who can just be moved is incorrect
  • Israel is going after people fleeing
  • It has made its genocidal intentions clear
  • This is where [Israel] has to be stopped
