International law expert, Stanley Cohen speaking to Radio 786: It is important to keep in mind as everyone tries to think what has triggered this latest act of resistance.

Some would think that it is Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions in terms of settlement expansions etc, or brutal Israeli occupation operations in the West Bank.

This is not giving a proper context, Operation Al Aqsa Flood is in response to the silence of the world in the face of rape, occupation, land theft, murder and kidnapping on Palestinians. It’s the non-stop of the breach of international law for 75 years, this is what Palestinians are addressing through Operation Al Aqsa Flood.
