In an interview with the British Sunday Times, Khan addressed accusations against Israel, highlighting concerns over reported actions in Gaza. “There are a number of allegations directed at Israel, including the fact that water has been cut off from Gaza, that people who lined up to get food were targeted, and that people from aid agencies were killed,” he stated.

Khan criticized these actions, stating: “This is not the way war should be waged. If this is what compliance with international humanitarian law looks like, then the Geneva Conventions serve no purpose.”

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation army has intensified its aggression against the Gaza Strip with American and European support. The bombardments have targeted hospitals, residential buildings, towers, and homes, leading to widespread destruction and significant civilian casualties. The blockade has also prevented the entry of essential supplies such as water, food, medicine, and fuel.

According to UN data, the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza has resulted in the deaths of 35,984 people and injuries to 80,643 others. Additionally, approximately 1.7 million people have been displaced due to the conflict.

Khan’s remarks underscore the international legal expectations for conduct during armed conflict and the critical need for adherence to humanitarian principles. (ILKHA)
