Israel’s Violations of International Law: An Examination by Harris for BBC

Israel has once again found itself in hot water as it has been accused of breaching international law. According to a report by the BBC, the country has been accused of violating international law by building settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

The United Nations and various human rights groups have long condemned Israel’s settlement construction in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. These settlements are seen as a major obstacle to peace in the region and a violation of international law.

The latest accusations come after US Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Israel’s settlement policy during a recent visit to the region. Harris stated that the settlements are “unhelpful” to the peace process and reiterated the US’s commitment to a two-state solution.

Israel has defended its settlement construction, arguing that it has the right to build on the land. However, the international community has repeatedly called on Israel to halt its settlement activities and abide by international law.

The accusations of breaching international law are likely to further strain Israel’s already tense relations with the international community. It remains to be seen how Israel will respond to these latest allegations and whether it will make any changes to its settlement policy in light of the criticism.
