Will the Israeli government be investigated for war crimes?

Hope so.
Amnesty International's recent funding appeal was for just that. To collect money to pay for criminal, legal, forensic investigations into the alleged war crimes.
Because of the volume of potential 'evidence', not every crime will be investigated, and not every criminal will be brought to justice.
Strategic choices will have to be made.
But the process has begun.

If only...

I very much doubt it.
Israel has had a hall pass with regard to its behaviour for decades so why start now?

Israel many never answer in the courts for the crimes it has committed, but it answers to world opinion.

It will never recover the standing it once had with many millions of people and states.

Albanese has been sanctioned by the US, and repeatedly shown up for her anti Israeli stance, by Natasha Hausdorff, a British barrister and International lawyer.

War crimes have been committed in Gaza by Israel but whether anyone will be prosecuted is doubtful.
I would like to think that those responsible for so many deaths and razing Gaza to the ground will be prosecuted but these evil people seem to evade justice.
The stain on Israel will be very hard to wash away.

My outrage Freya is because genocide has been committed.

My outrage Freya is because genocide has been committed.

My outrage is the same. And by a first world country behaving like a rogue state.

Yes, they should be prosecuted, of course. any attempt is most valid, targeting Netanyahu and other members of his regime, and it being clear its not "Israeli people": being prosecuted but a regime

Did we not all agree 100% and disgust to the trials after WW2 of the appalling men and women who had taken part in the Holocaust?

I truly believe that there will be witnesses from within the IDF who will testify to what they have witnessed.

No, Hamas doesn't get an out of jail free card, but, again, its the leaders and any individuals who can be identified who should be prosecuted of course!

Sadly, tragically and wrongly I truly believe Netanyahu will get off scott free.

The devastation both he and Hamas have caused to two nations, with no thought whatsoever of their own people, just shows how evil both sides of this “war” are.

Huh???!!!

Puzzled 'r us. You can't mean the one who is among the "good guys" (ie gals in her case). Francesco Albanese (UN Special Raporteur - and doing a darn good job under threat).

She's having to put up with a lot of personal pressure for doing her job perfectly correctly.

....not to mention Francesco is having various personal financial pressures put on her to try and blackmail her into stopping doing her job. Her own personal life is being got at - and yet she carries on. She's on my list of "I'd have her to dinner and lay on a darn good meal for her".

Hamas is a terrorist organisation, I believe that those who masterminded the Oct 7th attacks are now dead. As for the rest they will probably do what terrorists do in these situations, go to ground in exile and eventually be found and executed by Mossad. So they probs won’t get the chance to face a court of law.
Israel are a first world democratic country supported by the US and until recently allied with many western countries. So Netanyahu and his cronies should face prosecution for war crimes, because the standard for first world governments morally should be higher than the standard for rogue governments and terrorists.

The thing that puzzles me - and I'm not excusing any terrorist organisation (Hamas or otherwise) as that is not the way I would operate/not the way most of us would operate - but the big question arises "What could the Palestinians do to deal with them and try and stop them doing all this landgrabbing and restricting - both officially through their IDF and unofficially through their settlers?" What other way is there to react to them? One can't just sit back and get walked over and say "Here - have some more of our property. Kill some more of our people" - as that is defo not a realistic option.

Any other suggestions as to how to deal with Netanyahu and his ilk - and his predecessors etc before him? What other method is there? If you fight back = then at least you keep your self-respect of making it plain you are not just to be walked over and stolen from. If you don't fight back = then just what do you do?

The next Israeli elections are going to be very conflicted indeed. Netanyahu remember has crimes within his country to be answered for and he is regarded as very wrong by those who passionately feel he lingered and lingered on doing deals for the hostages:

or people who feel that by going so far as regards Gaza, he has lost their respect as regards sheer humanity, and disagree their country should be invading the West Bank -for the sake of long term peace, and indeed, successful future international relationships.

Netanyahu is perceived by many as putting Jewish people in danger of a rise in Anti-Semitic sentiments over the world

But there will be those who passionately support him

Which is up to them, isn’t it Wyllow3? It’s their government, their country and their choice when there are elections.

“What could Hamas do to deal with Israel”

Invade their country, rape, lock families in their homes and burn alive. Burn babies to death. Attack music festivals and shoot to kill.
Take hostages back to Gaza from Israel, even children .

And adhere to their beliefs to ‘kill all Jews’

Exactly!
Hamas could have enjoyed running Gaza but also spent the squillions that came their way on improving the place for the two million Gazans living in the strip.
They chose evil and war on their own citizens.

How can you 'enjoy' running an area that is in effect an open prison. Which citizen rights did Gazans have that citizens of other countries enjoy? Freedom to come go to other places, as tourists?
Freedom to build a working port along that strip of beautiful coast?

It's the government of part of the country, it's not their country and they're drawing in lots of money from other countries (eg America).

That means other countries have the right to have our say about what's happening there.

Part of the country? They are the government of Israel which is a recognised country whether you agree with it or not.

How much does Israel rely on aid from the USA?
Gaza relies on outside aid.
Does any aid into Gaza come from Israel?
It seems to be an unusual set up
