Time and again, Israel is in breach of IHL.

Without good faith, negotiation on the battlefield is both dangerous and of little use.

The principle of good faith applies by definition in both international and non-international armed conflicts and implies that the white flag, which indicates a desire to communicate,[9] must be respected in both types of conflict. The detailed rules applicable to the sending and receiving of parlementaires are a specific application of the principle of good faith (see Rules 67–69).

Israel has never had the intention to end the occupation; from the Nakba to the First+Second Intifada, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defence, Operation Protective Edge, …  and now the war in Gaza.
