    It’s enforceable. A war between two countries does not exist in a vacuum. The whole rest of the world can impose sanctions against the violator.

    Whether they will in this case is another matter entirely.

      Problem with sanctions is they haven’t proved Israel did this. Its plausible deniability

        Part of plausible deniability is that it has to be plausible. There has been no plausible argument presented that Israel did not do the pager and walkie talkie attack. For that matter, there hasn’t even been a denial about it.

          Then again a denial would also not be plausible. Either way, saying nothing is their best course of action.

      Is that law though? No one is going to jail. Sounds more a contract or agreement.

          The difference is enforcement capabilities. Geopolitical enforcement is not impossible it just gets murky quick. So many different priorities.
