Conclusion (the committee's words)
Israel has killed many thousands of civilians across Gaza, while arrest warrants, including the charge of using starvation as a method of warfare against Gazan civilians, have been issued in respect of prominent Israeli politicians. The Committee awaits judicial resolutions on these matters. There is a danger that delays in applying full diplomatic pressure until the International Court of Justice has adjudicated on whether Israel’s actions in Gaza are genocidal or not may mean that many more civilians will die in the interim. (Conclusion, Paragraph 20)
