Hamas attacks 'do not give Israel carte blanche to kill civilians': Amnesty As the Israel-Hamas war continues, we spoke to Donatella Rovera, a Senior Crisis Adviser for Amnesty International. "International humanitarian law is there and has to be respected by all parties. The fact that Hamas militants have carried out attacks that killed hundreds and hundreds of Israeli civilians and have abducted Israeli civilians does not give Israel carte blanche to kill thousands of Palestinian civilians, which is what has been happening since October 7," she told us in Perspective.
