“If you inadvertently hit civilians, that’s called an accident of war. That’s not a war crime.”
Israeli government adviser Mark Regev tells Andrew Marr that accidental civilian casualties are a "tragedy of war", not a war crime. This comes after David Cameron told MPs he was concerned that the war against Hamas was breaching international law.
Mr Regev, a former ambassador to the UK, told Andrew that the civilian casualties in Gaza were "much lower" than in the Western conflict against ISIS in the Middle East.
He goes on to say that Israel's vision for Palestine after the war is that it should be "less than a state" with the power to govern itself, but not the full sovereignty to harm its neighbour.
