The war, which lasted for 50 days, claimed the lives of over 2,130 Palestinians, including many children and women, and injured some 11,000 others.
The Israeli regime is also pressing ahead with its illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories despite a global outcry.
Most countries and international organizations regard Israeli settlements as illegal since the territories were captured by the regimein a 1967 war and are thus subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands.
More than half a million Israelis live in over120 settlements across the occupied territories.
