“I am here effectively as a representative of a kind of think tank called the High Level Military Group, which is made up of former chiefs of staff and senior military commanders from around the world.

Certainly, my direct observations, as well as my analysis of what I have seen in the media and elsewhere, is that Israel is doing all it possibly can to comply with international humanitarian law in Gaza.”

“Our calculation, which is based on the most recent number given by Hamas of around 21,000 civilian casualties and then deducting the IDF’s estimate of 12,000 terrorists killed, leaves something in the region of 9,000, maybe 10,000, civilians killed in this six-month conflict”
