'genocide'
Human rights experts join rising chorus that accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza
SUMMARY
A UN committee has determined that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, calling for global action to hold those responsible accountable. This report by independent experts highlights the death toll and systematic destruction in Gaza amid ongoing violence.
Evidence suggests intentional targeting of civilians, including children, and a blockade causing severe humanitarian crises. Commission chair Navi Pillay states, "The Commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza."
Israel has firmly rejected the report, labeling it a "distorted and false" portrayal. The findings, while significant, cannot directly prompt legal action against Israel but may influence international courts.
