Former Prosecutor explains criminal court charges
ABCLuke Siddham-Dundon: For more on this, I spoke with former US ambassador at large for war crimes, Stephen Rapp. Stephen Rapp: In part because when you deal with the bombardment, which the Gaza Health Commission says has killed 43,000 civilians, two thirds women and children, those specific shots, those artillery shells, those bombs, etc., according to Israel, were based on there being military targets, Hamas combatants in the tunnels underneath or missiles launched from those sites. I understand well the strong support that the United States and that I have to Israel's survival and right to exist and the abhorrence we all had of, you know, a thousand people being killed going peacefully to a music conference and hundreds being dragged into squalid tunnels and being held hostage in total violation of every rule of international law and the need to defend against that kind of thing. Luke Siddham-Dundon: Ambassador Stephen Rapp, thank you very much for speaking with The World today.
