What happens in Gaza is both justified war and a massacre, because Israel does not fulfill its obligations under international law to protect Palestinian civilians.

More specifically Israel did not:

1. offer a refuge to Palestinian civilians with necessary infrastructure on the territory secured and controlled by its own military (i.e. on its own territory);

2. organize evacuation of people from war zone;

3. ensure safe passage for humanitarian aid in a sufficient volume;

4. start planning reconstruction and aid to help Palestinians building independent democratic state under the two-state solution.

I don’t want to start a long discussion on why this didn’t happen, just to state the fact that it did not and as a result numerous war crimes were committed, which could have altered the relationship with Arab states, but they didn’t. And that is a notable fact to me with regards to the specific person and company.
