A team of independent UN -supported experts accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and urged the international community to stop atrocities and hold responsible responsible.
“The Commission will find that Israel is responsible for the Genocide Commission in Gaza,” said Navi Pillay, chairman of a three -member committee of inquiry. “It is obvious that there is an intention to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set out in the genocide convention.”
The Commission stated that Israel had committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 GenoCide Convention, including the killing of Group members, causing serious physical or mental harm, prevention and causing conditions calculated to cause physical destruction.
Named Israeli leadership
The panel laid responsibility on the highest leadership of Israel. Pillay said, “Responsibility for the crimes of cruelty lies at the Israeli authorities on the highest layers.”
The report concluded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, stimulated genocidal actions.
Chris Sidoti, another member of the Commission, accused the government of manipulating the national trauma of Hamas on October 7, 2023. “Trauma and their suffering have been ruthlessly manipulated by Netanyahu and his friends for the last two years – and it is time to stop.
Israel rejects the accusation
Israel rejected these findings and rejected the report as distorted and anti -Semitic. The Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday: “Three individuals serving as proxy Hamas, notoriously known for their openly anti -Semitic positions – and whose terrible statements about Jews were convicted of another false” report “on Gaz today. Israel categorically rejects this distorted and false message. ”
The accusation of the genocide carries a special weight in Israel, where the Holocaust remains the central point of national identity. Officials described the accusations as a modern “blood insult”.
Call the international event
The Commission called on governments around the world to stop the sale of weapons to Israel and prevent any actions that could contribute to Geno Geno.
Pillay warned: “The international community cannot be silent about the genocidal campaign initiated by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. When clear signs and evidence of genocide appear, the absence of action is a participation.”
Global Legal Context
The report comes when the International Court continues to hear the case of the Genocide of South Africa against Israel. Several countries, including Spain, Mexico and Libya, tried to join the case.
While the UN Human Rights Council itself lacks the power to enforce the right, it could provide evidence of international prosecutors.
