1,300 Israeli scientists issued a statement in support of Gaza

According to Haaretz, 1,300 scientists across Israel issued a statement saying "the benefits of continuing the war are unclear." It has been argued that the right to self-defense does not grant the right to continue a war for an unrealistic goal or for the political survival of leaders.

A joint statement by 1,300 Israeli scholars said that "the right to self-defense does not justify the continuation of war for an unrealistic goal or for the political survival of leaders."

The war "has taken a devastating toll on the civilian population of Gaza, causing famine and unprecedented destruction of infrastructure," the statement said.

It was also noted that the attacks resulted in Israeli victims, thousands of mental illnesses, and huge economic losses.

After more than 7 months of Israeli attacks on Gaza, which began on October 7, some artists, scientists and various professional groups are calling for an end to the war.
