How to enforce international law around food security in Gaza

Israel’s denial of food into Gaza has a long and ugly history.

I was asked to comment by global broadcaster TRT World:

“Palestinians in Gaza have the right to food and security. (The US and Israel) are ignoring international law. The real challenge is that there is no enforceable mechanism against the US or Israel,” Antony Loewenstein, an investigative journalist and the author of the book The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, tells TRT World.

“We have this real crisis in international law at the moment. But there’s no one to enforce it. There’s no mechanism, no body, no country, no army that is able to enforce international law,” says Loewenstein.

“Israel’s genocide in Gaza is essentially war crime, after war crime, after war crime. There’s no international body or country or force willing to stop it,” says Loewenstein.
