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

The United Nations Investigation Committee says that Israel committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

A new report says that there are reasonable reasons for the conclusion that four of the five collective genocide that were identified under international law have been implemented since the beginning of the war with Hamas in 2023: members of a group were killed, causing serious physical and mental harm, and they commit to the piety of cases calculated to destroy the group and prevent births.

He cited the data of Israeli leaders and the pattern of behavior by the Israeli forces, as evidence of the intention of genocide.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it categorically rejected the report, and introduced it as “distorted and false.”

A spokesman for the three experts in the Labor Committee was accused as “Hamas agents” and entirely dependent on the liar of Hamas, who was washed and repeated by others “who” have already been completely exposed. “

They added, “In a flagrant contradiction with the lies in the report, Hamas is the party that tried to genocide in Israel – killed 1,200 people, raped women, burning families alive, and explicitly declared its goal of killing every Jew.”

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack on Hamas on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people and 251 hostages were killed.

At least 64,905 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.

Most of the population has been displaced over and over again; More than 90 % of homes are estimated at damage or destruction; Healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems collapsed; Unaccounted food security experts announced famine in Gaza City.

The Independent International Investigation Committee was established on the Palestinian territories occupied by the Human Rights Council in 2021 to investigate all alleged violations of humanitarian law and international human rights.

The Committee of Experts of three members was chaired by Navi Pillay, a former human rights commander in South Africa, and he was head of the International Court of Genocide in Rwanda.

The latest report of the committee It is claimed that the Israeli authorities and the Israeli forces have committed four of the five collective genocide specified under the 1948 genocide conference against a national, ethnic, ethnic, or religious group – in this case, the Palestinians in Gaza:

• Group members killed Through attacks on protected things; Targeting civilians and other protected persons; And deliberate attachment to the circumstances that cause deaths
• Causing physical or mental harm to the group members Through direct attacks on civilians and protected things; Severe treatment of detainees; Forced displacement and environmental destruction
• In the conditions of life deliberately calculated to achieve the destruction of the group in whole or in part By destroying the structures and lands necessary for the Palestinians; Destroying and denying access to medical services; Forced displacement prevent basic aid, water, electricity and fuel from reaching the Palestinians; Reproductive violence and specific circumstances affect children
• Imposing measures aimed at preventing births Through the December 2023 attack on the largest fertility clinic in Gaza, and according to what was reported is about 4000 fetuses and 1,000 sperm and unusual eggs

To fulfill the legal definition of genocide under the genocide agreement, it must also be proven that the perpetrator of the crime committed any of these actions with a specific intent to destroy the group in whole or in part.

The committee says it has analyzed the statements made by the Israeli leaders and claims that President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Secretary Yaf Galet “incited the genocide commission.”

It also states that “the intention of genocide was the only reasonable reasoning” that could end the style of the behavior of the Israeli authorities and the security forces in Gaza.

The committee says that the behavior pattern includes intentionally killing and hurting an unprecedented number of Palestinians who use heavy munitions; Wide -scale methodological attacks on religious, cultural and educational sites; The imposition of a siege on Gaza and their inhabitants.

The government of Israel insists that its efforts are directed only to dismantling the capabilities of Hamas, not in the people of Gaza. It says that its forces operate according to international law and take all possible measures to reduce harm to civilians.

“In early October 7, 2023, Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged to attach …” the great revenge “in” all places that are published in Hamas, hiding, and operating it, that evil city, we will turn them into a tube “,” Pelay said in an interview with the BBC.

Its use of the “evil city” in the same statement means that he saw the entire Gaza City [Gaza City] As an official and a goal for revenge. He told the Palestinians, “The departure now because we will work strongly everywhere.”

She added: “It took two years to collect all procedures and create realistic results, and verify whether that has happened … They are only the facts that will direct you.

The committee says that the actions of Israeli political and military leaders are “attributed to the State of Israel”, and therefore the state “bears the responsibility for failure to prevent genocide, the paradise of genocide and failure to punish genocide.”

It also warns that all other countries have an immediate commitment under the genocide agreement “to prevent and punish the crime of genocide”, while employing all measures at their disposal. If they do not, they may be complicit.

“We did not go to the point of naming the parties as participants, or we cooperate in the genocide. But this is … the continuous work of this committee. They will reach there,” Pelay said.

He also accused a number of international and Israeli human rights organizations, independent United Nations experts and scholars of Israel of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) hears a case filed by South Africa, which accuses Israeli forces of genocide. Israel described the issue as “unfounded” and based on “biased and false claims.”
