UN experts condemn the “Board of Peace,” saying it is illegal and contradicts international law and the right to self-determination. They emphasize that Gaza’s reconstruction must be led by Palestinians and guided by human rights and international law. A new analysis highlights that the destruction of housing in Gaza constitutes war crimes. The experts urge an end to the occupation, a held ceasefire, and a rights-based approach to rebuilding Gaza, with Israel and its supporters bearing primary responsibility.
