 Summary of the Article and Identification of Dispute

International law does not explicitly prohibit the use of force to eliminate organizations like Hamas,
but there are legal obligations that Israel must adhere to during its campaign against Hamas. These
include humane treatment of civilians, protection of civilian populations from attack, and compliance
with the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute. Israel's actions in self-defense must align with
the right of self-defense under the UN Charter. The international community is closely monitoring
Israel's military actions in Gaza, particularly concerning civilian casualties and compliance with legal
standards

Dispute:
The dispute between Israel and Hamas is a long-standing conflict that has been ongoing for decades.
Hamas is a militant Palestinian group that has controlled Gaza since 2006, after winning the
Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 and ousting the rival Fatah movement of West Bank-based
President Mahmoud Abbas

. The conflict has been marked by numerous wars and skirmishes, with Hamas launching attacks on
Israel and Israel responding with military operations
.In early October 2023, the conflict escalated with a major attack by Hamas on Israel from the Gaza
Strip
. The attack, which began on October 7, 2023, resulted in more than 1,200 deaths, primarily Israeli
citizens, making it the deadliest day for Israel since its independence
. In response, Israel declared itself in a state of war for the first time since the Yom Kippur War in 1973
. The war began with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducting air strikes on the Gaza Strip, followed
weeks later by the incursion of ground troops and armored vehicles
.The conflict has been characterized by a complex web of regional and international politics, with
various countries and organizations taking different positions on the issue
. Russia and China have both refused to condemn Hamas, and say they are maintaining contact with
both sides in the conflict
. Iran, Israel's arch-enemy, is a key supporter of Hamas, as well as Hezbollah, whose militants have
been exchanging fire with Israeli forces almost daily since Hamas's attack
. The United States, Israel's closest ally, has over the years given the Jewish state more than $260
billion in military and economic aid, and has promised additional equipment, air defense missiles,
guided bombs, and ammunition
.The conflict has also been marked by interspersed periods of peace, with various attempts at
reconciliation and peace processes, including the Oslo peace process in the early 1990s
. However, these efforts have often been derailed by violence and political tensions
. The most recent peace plan, known as the "deal of the century," was proposed by the United States
when Donald Trump was president, but was dismissed by the Palestinians as one-sided and never got
off the ground

The Israel-Hamas conflict has had a significant impact on civilians, particularly in Gaza. The
most recent conflict began on October 7, 2023, with Hamas launching a massive attack on
Israel, resulting in more than 1,200 deaths, primarily Israeli citizens
. In response, Israel declared a state of war and launched a military operation in Gaza, leading
to the death of more than 27,748 people and the injury of more than 66,800 others,
according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health
.The conflict has also had a devastating impact on Gaza's infrastructure, with the blockade
imposed by Israel and Egypt cutting off electricity, water, and supplies of food and medicine
. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, with more than half of all Gazans dependent on
international assistance for basic services
. The United Nations has warned that an estimated 90% of Gaza's population is facing crisis
levels of food insecurity
.The conflict has also led to the displacement of millions of Palestinians, presenting a
dilemma for neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan, which have absorbed hundreds of
thousands of Palestinians in the past but have resisted accepting any more during the current
conflict
. The displacement of millions more Palestinians presents a dilemma for Egypt and Jordan,
which have absorbed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the past but have resisted
accepting any more during the current conflict
.The conflict has also had a significant impact on regional relations, with Egypt and Jordan
expressing concerns about the displacement of Palestinians and the potential for Israel to call
for substantial numbers of West Bank Palestinians to go to Jordan
. The conflict has further strained relations between Israel and its neighbors, with the United
States and other countries suspending funding to the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)

.In summary, the Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in a significant loss of life,
displacement of millions of Palestinians, and severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The
conflict has also had a significant impact on regional relations and the ability of
neighboring countries to absorb more displaced Palestinians
