Short reminder: A year ago Gallant and Katz stood united to announce their “complete siege”. Katz, personally responsible for the cutting of water, went even further with his words than Gallant and openly proclaimed his intent to commit a crime against humanity, namely by depriving the entire population of Gaza from access to freshwater. Starvation as method of warfare remains illegal even if it is a reprisal directed against the civilian population to enforce the release of the hostages). The policy was finally rescinded under international pressure. However, persons like this, completely ignoring even Israel’s own official interpretations of international humanitarian law, are certainly unfit for office of Defense Minister.
