As a result, Amit wrote, he did not see a need for court intervention.

“Taking into account the totality of the actions taken by the respondents with the aim of improving the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip throughout the period of time examined in the petition, as detailed above, I do not believe that the petitioners were able to establish – not even close – a violation of the prohibitions on starvation of a population as a method of warfare and on collective punishment,” he added.

Amit concluded:
1. “It is the terrorist organizations that bear responsibility for the suffering of the uninvolved population,”
2. however, that “this human suffering is not something that the State of Israel is entitled to ignore.”
