### Key Highlights from the Incident
- Use of Force: The UN condemned what it described as "wholly disproportionate" force employed by Israeli soldiers against unarmed protesters. This prompted discussions about the legal implications, suggesting that such actions may constitute willful killings, which is recognized as a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
- International Response: Protests in support of Gaza were echoed across various platforms, including a significant rally held in Istanbul. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for Muslim nations to resist following the U.S. lead in recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
- Human Rights Implications: The UN's stance sheds light on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region and calls for accountability from occupying powers regarding their treatment of civilian populations.
