The Israeli leadership, including members of its organization structure and members of affiliating and or assisting entities, are a war belligerent in Gaza, and 'occupying' belligerent in the West Bank since 1967, as they never lifted the declaration of war announced by the then-prime minister Levy Eshkol. Therefore, the following:
International law considers colonies (settlements) in occupied territories to be illegal, primarily due to the prohibition in the Fourth Geneva Convention against an occupying power transferring its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. This is supported by a broad consensus, including numerous United Nations resolutions, and the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) 2024 advisory opinion, which stated that the occupation and its settlement regime are unlawful and have no legal validity. Settlements are seen as a violation of the law of occupation, and any measures to expand or consolidate them are also prohibited.
