“Violating international law” is pretty sterile/soft verbiage for fucking war crimes.
It's also funny because he also denounced Hamas' attack even though resisting a military occupation/blockade is allowed by international law.
He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn't exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).
