<p>While we have not raised this issue with the Israeli authorities, there must be
a robust process of accountability given the heavy civilian death toll in Gaza. Israel
has confirmed plans to form their own investigative committee which we understand
will be mandated to investigate the proportionality of Israel Defence Forces actions.
To be credible, the committee must be independent, transparent and rigorous, and must
draw on lessons from the past to examine how Israel can in future exercise its right
to self-defence without such heavy civilian loss of life.</p>
