What Countries Accuse Israel of Gaza Genocide?
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Human rights group Amnesty International has accused Israel of "committing genocide" against Palestinians since the start of the assault in Gaza. In a landmark report published on December 5, titled, “You Feel Like You Are Subhuman”: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, is the culmination of months of research by Amnesty, including extensive witness interviews, analysis of “visual and digital evidence”, including satellite imagery, and statements made by senior Israeli government and military officials. Amnesty said the Israeli military has committed at least three of the five acts banned by the 1948 Genocide Convention, including indiscriminate killings of civilians, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and “deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction”. Amnesty, however, is not the first to accuse Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The UN’s World Court ruled on January 26 that Palestinians were “at risk of” genocide. This was a case South Africa raised against Israel for committing genocide and remains ongoing. So far, 14 countries have joined or signalled their intention to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the World Court. They include Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Ireland, Spain, Libya, Maldives, Mexico, Nicaragua and Turkiye. In addition, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani accused Israel of committing a “collective genocide” in Gaza.
