Is there enough international political will to probe war crimes in Gaza?
The UN says peace without justice is not sustainable.
Two years of Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed nearly 68,000 Palestinians – including 20,000 children.
For now, the bombing campaign has largely halted after a ceasefire was agreed last week.
But the Israeli military’s actions in the past 24 months were livestreamed, documented and archived in unprecedented detail.
In September, a United Nations Commission of Inquiry found that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. And this week, South Africa said the ceasefire will not affect its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
But the ICJ lacks the resources to carry out arrests unless United Nations member countries decide to act.
So, will Israel be held accountable, or will impunity become the new norm?
