(MENAFN) In a report published on Thursday, Amnesty International leveled accusations toward Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians throughout the Gaza conflict, a claim that Israeli chiefs have falsified over and over again.
A human rights group located in London declared it reached the ending after months of studying occurrences and declartions of Israeli authorities. For the first time in an ongoing armed conflict, Amnesty declared that the crime's legal threshold had been reached.
The 1948 Genocide Convention, declared in the wake of the large amount of killing toward Jews in the Nazi Holocaust, describes genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”
Israel has constantly refused any accusation of genocide, announcing it has followed the international law and has a right to defend itself after Hamas assault from Gaza on October 7, 2023 that caused the conflict.
Israeli officials could not immediately be reached for comment on Amnesty's allegations.
