Peace and genocide in times of international delegation: The Palestinian drama

Authors

Keywords:

Palestine, Public international law, Genocide, Peace

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the violent deconstruction of the Palestinian people from historical, legal, and peace-studies perspectives. The first subsection examines the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe through seven historical steps. Subsequently, the legal status of Palestine and the question of possible rights to legitimate resistance or self-defense of the actors involved are discussed. Third, the article explores the legal and political controversy surrounding the characterization of genocide in Gaza since 2023. Fourth, cognitive warfare and its global reach are examined. The fifth section analyzes the growing hostility toward the international legal order and the actors interested in processes of de-juridification. Finally, the article evaluates the so-called Trumpist peace project of October 2025 and contrasts it with possible paths toward a durable and sustainable peace in the southern Levant.
