  • UN human rights chief: Crisis in Gaza, Israel "has deteriorated at an alarming rate"

    United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on Saturday called for a de-escalation in fighting between Israel and Hamas, warning that the crisis "has deteriorated at an alarming rate."Why it matters: Bachelet said that actions carried out by both the Israeli military and Palestinian militants may amount to violations of international humanitarian law and therefore may be considered war crimes.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.The big picture: The latest fighting between Israel and Hamas began Monday following violence in Jerusalem over the planned evictions of six Palestinian families to make way for Israeli settlers.At least 140 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including dozens of children, according to Palestinian health officials. Nine people, including two children, have been killed in Israel. The UN said Friday that at least 10,000 people in Gaza have been displaced. An Israeli airstrike on Saturday flattened a building housing the offices of AP, Al Jazeera and other media organizations. This week has seen the worst inter-communal violence in Israel since the start of the Second Intifada in 2000. Protests have also erupted across the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces have killed more than a dozen Palestinians, including one person the Israeli military said attempted to attack soldiers. What she's saying: “I urge both sides to ensure strict respect for their obligations under international law," Bachelet said. "Israel, as the occupying power, has a duty to ensure unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance to the Gaza strip."“Rather than seeking to calm tensions, inflammatory rhetoric from leaders on all sides appears to be seeking to excite tensions rather than to calm them," she added. "Once again, we are seeing lives lost and terrified people being forced to flee or hide in their homes, subjected to attacks that are being carried out by both sides in what may amount to serious violations of international humanitarian law.”“Those found to be responsible for violations must be held to account.”Bachelet said Israeli airstrikes and shelling into densely-populated areas have raised concerns that the Israeli military has targeted buildings that, under international humanitarian law, do not meet the requirements to be considered as military targets.She also said that the indiscriminate firing of large numbers rockets by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups into Israel into densely populated areas may violate international humanitarian law and would be considered war crimes.What's next: The UN Security Council will meet on Sunday to address the crisis, the UN said.Go deeper...Biden in call with Netanyahu raises concerns about civilian casualties in GazaUN: 10,000 Palestinians displaced in Gaza as Israel-Hamas fighting escalates"Horrified": AP, Al Jazeera condemn Israel's bombing of their offices in GazaJerusalem crisis widens rift between Jewish and Arab IsraelisLike this article?

    The United States must encourage an immediate cease-fire in the Middle East and adopt an "evenhanded approach" that recognizes Palestinians and Israelis have a right to "live in peace and security," Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) wrote in a New York Times opinion on Friday.Driving the news: Violence escalated this week after Israelis intensified efforts to evict Palestinians from their homes in Jerusalem. Hamas fired rockets and Israel massed troops, leaving more than 125 Palestinians and seven people in Israel dead.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.What he's saying: "Let’s be clear. No one is arguing that Israel, or any government, does not have the right to self-defense or to protect its people," wrote Sanders."So why are these words repeated year after year, war after war? And why is the question almost never asked: 'What are the rights of the Palestinian people?' And why do we only seem to take notice of the violence in Israel and Palestine when rockets are falling on Israel?""[W]hile Hamas firing rockets into Israeli communities is absolutely unacceptable, today’s conflict did not begin with those rockets," the senator said, adding Palestinians have spent years being threatened with forced evictions, political and economic oppression and deepening Israeli occupation."Further, we have seen [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu’s government work to marginalize and demonize Palestinian citizens of Israel" while pursuing policies "designed to foreclose the possibility of a two-state solution.""None of this excuses the attacks by Hamas, which were an attempt to exploit the unrest in Jerusalem, or the failures of the corrupt and ineffective Palestinian Authority," Sanders noted."But the fact of the matter is that Israel remains the one sovereign authority in the land of Israel and Palestine, and rather than preparing for peace and justice, it has been entrenching its unequal and undemocratic control."The lawmaker emphasized that the U.S. must "uphold international standards of human rights consistently, even when it's politically difficult." The big picture: After speaking with Netanyahu on Wednesday, President Biden said that, "Israel has the right to defend itself."Asked whether Palestine has the same right, press secretary Jen Psaki at a White House press briefing said, "Are the attacks not coming from Hamas?"The administration has dispatched a State Department official to join de-escalation efforts.
