Amnesty International report: Israel's war on Gaza amounts to genocide

Amnesty International has released a report saying Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip constitutes the crime of genocide under international law, the first such determination by a major human rights organization in the 14-month conflict.

The 32-page report examining events in Gaza from October 2023 to July 2024, published on Thursday, states that Hamas' atrocity against Israelis on October 7, 2023, which triggered the war, does not justify the genocide taking place in Gaza.

This marks the first time Amnesty has alleged the crime of genocide during an ongoing conflict, and builds on a March report by the UN's special rapporteur on Palestine, who concluded there was sufficient reason to believe Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians.

"Our findings should serve as a wake-up call: this is genocide and it must stop now," Agnès Callamard, the group's secretary general, said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Amnesty cited the deliberate obstruction of aid and electricity supplies along with massive damage, destruction and population displacement, leading to the collapse of water, sanitation, food and health care systems.

As an occupying power, Israel is legally bound to provide for the needs of the occupied population, Kristine Beckerle, adviser to Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa team, said on Wednesday.

Amnesty has called on the UN to enforce a ceasefire, impose targeted sanctions on senior Israeli and Hamas officials, and Western governments such as the US, UK and Germany to end security aid and arms sales. for Israel.

The rights group has also asked the international criminal court, which last month issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, to add genocide to the list of war crimes it is investigating. .

Finally, Amnesty called for the unconditional release of Israeli hostages by Hamas.
