Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, says UN commission of inquiry | Israel-Gaza war

A UN Commission found that Israel has been genocide in Gaza, referring to tens of thousands of civilian deaths and major destruction, and called on the member states to punish those responsible.

The United Nations Independent International Investigation Commission (COI), who did not speak on behalf of the UN, said, “The genocide occurs in Gaza and continues.”

“When open signs and genocide evidence appeared, the lack of action to stop it means a partner,” he added. “All states are under legal obligation to use all the tools that are reasonable for them to stop the genocide in Gaza.”

Established by the UN in 2021 and assigned by three independent experts, COI said that the hunger and deaths caused by the restrictions on food and drugs, the ill -treatment of the prisoners, to be compulsory to relocate and support the findings of the “Roasting Soil Military Strategy”.

The COI also accused the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, and other senior Israeli leaders of the genocide, and said there was clear evidence of genocide intentions.

“The Commission concludes that the statements made by the Israeli authorities are direct proof of the genocide intention.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected the report categorically and asked COI to be removed. Israel’s Ambassador of UN in Geneva Daniel Meron called a scandal and a false “slander rent” written by the “Hamas deputies” in the report. Israel refused to cooperate with COI by accusing a political agenda.

The 72 -page report launched a floor attack in Gaza City, many of which has been displaced from other parts of the region, where approximately 1 million people lived in the largest urban center and surrounding area of ​​the region.

The 23 -month war was triggered in October 2023, when Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, where militants killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians and took 251 hostages.

So far, the next Israeli attack has killed approximately 65,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and has been wounded more than 160,000. Last month, a reputable global hunger monitoring group declared famine in some parts of Gaza.

Independent COI’s analysis is the most powerful finding of a UN organ to date, but its consequences do not represent the official position of the UN. The world’s body itself has not yet used the term genocide, but under increasing pressure to do it.

In a statement on Tuesday, the UN Insider said that the report would affect the key actors within the organization and member governments, but there was little chance to “be accepted by the UN in any collective way”.

On Tuesday, the UN’s High Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk said that the evidence of “genocide” in Gaza has increased.

“After the war of war, we see that the crime against humanity and the potentially more of the war crime after the war crime,” he said. “We see that the court decides whether there is a genocide and the evidence has increased.”

Last month, hundreds of Turks have signed an internal letter that tells Israel’s own staff to declare a genocide of Israel’s attack in Gaza and call the UN member states to call Israel to suspend weapons sales.

Victims, witnesses and doctors referred to as evidence interviews, as well as reporting by media and NGOs, as well as reporting the satellite images compiled since the war began, the Israeli officials and forces committed the “five genocid action listed in the 1948 genocide convention.

The congress, which was adopted after the murder of 6 million Jews in Holocaust, describes the genocide as “partially or partially committed by the intention of destroying a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”.

The report stated that they continued with a strategy that causes great harm to civilians, although they are aware of the results of Israeli leaders.

“Israel used a heavy guide -free ammunition, which is a wide error margin in densely populated settlements.

The Commission also pointed out the deaths and pain that was accused of covering Israel wrongly caused by attacks on Gaza’s health system.

In addition to the explicit statements of Israeli civil and military officials, the Israeli forces, along with the behavioral pattern of behavioral, said that “genocide actions… the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group intention to destroy the Palestinians as a group”.

The evidence that Netanyahu compares the Gaza operation to the Gaza Bible in the Hebrew Bible as a letter to Israeli troops in November 2023.

Pillay, a former South African judge who served as a judge at the International Criminal Court and presided on the Rwanda International Court, said that the international community could not be silent by Israel in the genocide campaign initiated against the Palestinian people in Gaza ”.

Israel constantly rejected all genocide charges, stating the right to defense. Last January, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent genocide actions in Gaza. Four months later, ICC issued an arrest warrant for suspicious war crimes and crimes against humanity for Netanyahu and Gallant.
