The United Nations’ Independent International Investigation Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide.
In a new report, among a long list of accusations is Israeli targeting of civilians that it has a legal obligation to protect, and the imposition of inhumane conditions, causing the death of Palestinians.
Israel has dismissed the report as antisemitic lies inspired by Hamas.
Chairperson of the Inquiry Navi Pillay says the ongoing genocide in Gaza is a moral outrage.
“Genocide is continuing to occur, and the responsibility lies with the state of Israel. We identified three persons in this report and that is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant and the current president of Israel,” says Pillay.
