While ‘responsibility to protect’ strictly applies to regimes carrying out genocide against its own population, it's time to ask if it can't be applied in Gaza too, where Israel is bombing and forcibly evacuating people.
The protests came as the UN health agency reported thousands of people trying to flee fighting that has raged in the coastal Palestinian enclave since 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.
The Palestinian academic, who taught English at Islamic University of Gaza, chose to stay back despite his family's pleas and chronicled daily life in Shujaiya amid Israeli onslaught.
Five of the deaths occurred in Jenin, which Israeli military said it raided to detain a Palestinian who is suspected of involvement in a lethal West Bank ambush in August.
39 Palestinian women and minor detainees were freed under an accord brokered by Qatar, which also resulted in the release of 13 Israeli hostages seized by Hamas last month.
Such move could compel hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled south to relocate again, along with residents of Khan Younis worsening a dire humanitarian crisis.
Following the gunfight, police found 2 automatic rifles, 2 handguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, 10 fully loaded magazines and 2 axes on the suspects & in their vehicle.
Before the start of Gaza war between Israel and Hamas on 7 October, it was already deadliest year on record for Palestinians in Israeli-occupied West Bank, with about 200 killed.

Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
