"Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian
children in Gaza, an independent UN inquiry has found.
The report by the UN independent international commission of inquiry examined
violations against Palestinian children since the start of the war in Gaza, and
said about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.
A previous report by the commission in September found that Israel had
committed genocide in Gaza and that Israeli officials, including the prime
minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, incited these acts. Netanyahu is separately
wanted by the international criminal court (ICC) for war crimes.
The Israeli mission in Geneva said Israel rejected the commission’s “libellous
sham”. Israel has fought hard against allegations of genocide, while receiving
critical diplomatic support from its allies, including the US and the UK.
A significant body of research by legal and rights experts has concluded that
Israel is intent on destroying Palestinians, including analyses by UN
investigators, rights bodies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights
Watch, and genocide scholars worldwide.
Genocide, which became a crime after the second world war and the Holocaust, is
considered the most serious international crime."
