Abstract
The research focuses on the legal responsibility for starvation crimes by focusing on Gaza-Palestine, and the importance of the research stems from the international status and the global impact of the tragedy of starvation crimes committed by the occupation forces, which provoked public opinion regionally and internationally, but the problem is the lack of an international legal procedure that protects the Palestinians and the practices of the occupation forces, which has generated a major question that needs to be answered is the extent of the legal responsibility resulting from the acts committed by the occupation government through the use of the starvation policy against the Palestinians, which is considered a violation of the law International? This required the adoption of the descriptive and legal approach, and the research process dealt with two topics, the first was concerned with the crimes of starvation as one of the policies of war, displacement and genocide, and the second: focused on the policy of starvation of Palestinians and its material and moral effects, and the research concluded that the policy of starvation followed by the occupation government is one of the forbidden means of war, which is a violation of the rules of law The international community condemned the United Nations and civilized countries after it provoked world public opinion.
