EU-funded human rights center director: Israel “has no legitimate right to defend itself”

Director of the Human Rights and Democracy Media Center SHAMS Omar Rahal: "What has happened in the Gaza Strip and in all the occupied Palestinian territories (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 war on Israel) exposed the falseness of the Israeli discourse and the occupation discourse. The occupation (i.e., Israel) has no legitimate right to defend itself, according to international law."
