General Assembly Resolutions:

• Numerous General Assembly resolutions affirm the right of Palestinians to self-determination, condemn Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people, and call for the return of refugees as per Resolution 194 (III) from 1948 which allows for the return of Palestinian refugees.

Other Resolutions:

• There have been resolutions concerning the protection of civilians, cessation of hostilities in Gaza, and humanitarian access, which Israel has been accused of not fully adhering to, especially in conflicts post-2000.

Please note:

• This list is not exhaustive but highlights some of the most frequently cited resolutions.
• Compliance with UN resolutions can be a matter of interpretation. For instance, some resolutions have partial compliance or compliance in some aspects but not others.
• While these resolutions have been criticized for non-compliance, the extent to which Israel has ignored them varies, and in some cases, there might be ongoing or partial implementation or political contestation over the interpretation of these resolutions.

Here are some of the key orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where Israel has been accused of not complying:

1. Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2004):

   • Order: The ICJ found that the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, was contrary to international law. It ordered Israel to dismantle the wall and compensate affected Palestinians.
   • Non-Compliance: Israel did not dismantle the wall but made some adjustments in its route.

2. Provisional Measures in the Case Concerning the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) (January 2024):

   • Order: The ICJ issued several provisional measures:
     • Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.
     • Ensure its military does not commit any act of genocide.
     • Prevent and punish direct and public incitement to commit genocide.
     • Take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
     • Preserve evidence related to allegations of genocidal acts.
     • Report to the court on compliance within one month.
   • Non-Compliance:
     • Reports from human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have stated that Israel has not fully complied with these orders, particularly regarding humanitarian aid and incitement to genocide.
     • There have been criticisms from various entities that Israel continued military operations and did not ensure sufficient humanitarian aid entered Gaza despite the order.

3. Order to Halt Military Operations in Rafah (May 2024):

   • Order: The ICJ ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah, southern Gaza, due to the risk it posed to the Palestinian population.
   • Non-Compliance: There were indications from posts on X and other media that Israel did not comply with this order, continuing its operations in Rafah, although the exact actions might be nuanced or subject to interpretation.

It's important to note:

• Compliance with ICJ orders, especially provisional measures, can be complex. While outright non-compliance can be clear, partial compliance or actions taken might be argued as fulfilling the spirit if not the letter of the orders.
• The ICJ's orders, while legally binding, rely on the international community for enforcement since the court itself has no enforcement mechanism. Israel's compliance or lack thereof often becomes a point of international diplomatic and legal contention.

Here's a list of ceasefire agreements or truces where Israel has been accused of violating or not fully adhering to the terms:

1. 1948 Ceasefire Agreements (Armistice Agreements with Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria):

   • Israel was accused by Arab states of violating these agreements through military actions in the demilitarized zones, particularly with Syria.

2. 1967 Ceasefire after the Six-Day War:

   • Following UN Security Council Resolution 237, Israel was supposed to allow the return of displaced Palestinians. There have been claims of non-compliance regarding the return of refugees.

3. 1973 Ceasefire (Yom Kippur War):

   • Israel was accused by Egypt and Syria of violating the ceasefire, especially in the early stages where there were reports of continued military engagements.

4. 1982 Lebanon War Ceasefires:

   • Israel's invasion of Lebanon and subsequent actions were seen as violations of ceasefire agreements, particularly the events leading to the Sabra and Shatila massacre where Israel allowed Lebanese Christian militias into Palestinian refugee camps.

5. 1993 Oslo Accords:

   • While not a ceasefire per se, the Oslo Accords aimed at peace. Israel's continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza has been viewed as a violation of the spirit of these agreements.

6. 2002 Ceasefire with the Palestinian Authority:

   • During the Second Intifada, there were multiple ceasefires, but operations like Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, where Israel reoccupied Palestinian cities, were seen as breaking these truces.

7. 2008-2009 Gaza Ceasefire (following Operation Cast Lead):

   • Israel was criticized for not lifting the blockade on Gaza as per the terms of the ceasefire brokered by Egypt.

8. 2012 Ceasefire brokered by Egypt after Operation Pillar of Defense:

   • Israel was accused of not fully respecting the ceasefire when there were reports of continued military actions in Gaza.

9. 2014 Ceasefire during Operation Protective Edge:

   • Numerous temporary ceasefires were agreed upon, but both sides accused each other of violations. However, Israel's military operations, including the targeting of tunnels and alleged civilian areas, were seen by some as breaking these truces.

10. 2021 Ceasefire after Operation Guardian of the Walls:

    • Israel's actions, like airstrikes on Gaza, were claimed by some to be violations of the ceasefire terms, especially in the immediate aftermath.

11. November 2023 Temporary Ceasefire with Hamas:

    • Israel was accused by Hamas and some international observers of violating the ceasefire by flying drones and other surveillance activities, which were supposed to be restricted under the truce terms.

Please note:

• Ceasefires in conflicts often involve allegations of violations from both sides. The specifics of each ceasefire agreement's violation can be subject to different interpretations and political viewpoints.
• This list is not exhaustive, and it's based on allegations and criticisms from various sources, including UN reports, human rights organizations, and conflicting parties themselves.
• The nature of war and ceasefire agreements often leads to immediate breaches or accusations of breaches from both sides involved in the conflict.
