In its campaign against Israel, the ICRC has violated its mandate, distorted the FGC and wreaked much confusion. John Kerry is not its first victim and won’t be its last
US Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent comment that Israeli settlements are “illegitimate” (a form of illegality) is not new; it is the position of the State Department and the international community. Kerry’s remark is based on United Nations General Assembly resolutions, which in turn are based on decisions of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the official “guardian” of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) (FGC).
