Legal Analysis of Palestinian Resistance to the Israeli Regime in Light of Just War Theory

The importance of the just war theory is not limited to the fact that it provides the most important theoretical interpretation of the moral significance of war and its existing limitations, and attempts to explain the nature of the military's behavior with aggressors and non-aggressors, and for this reason, it became an inspiration in the field of international law of war. The claim and effort of this article is to briefly discuss the historical course of the Palestinian conflict with the Israeli regime, and in particular to assess the feasibility and analyze the Palestinian resistance in light of the ethics of war. Therefore, by applying the analytical-descriptive method and based on the collection of a library, it seeks to answer the question: What is the legal aspect of the Palestinian resistance to the Israeli regime based on the just war theory? The findings of this research show that the project of establishing the State of Israel was planned and implemented from beginning to end against the will of the majority of ninety-two percent of the indigenous Palestinians. Therefore, since the Israeli regime's killing leaves no room for civil struggle, not only can it resort to armed resistance based on the just war theory, but other governments and international authorities are also obliged to support this resistance.
