Israel Calls Amnesty Accusation Of Genocide In Gaza ‘Entirely False’

A recent report by Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. However, Israel's foreign ministry has dismissed the report as "entirely false" and "fabricated."

The report's findings are based on statements by Israeli government and military officials, satellite images, fieldwork, and ground reports from Gazans. Amnesty International has urged states to stop transferring weapons to Israel, citing the devastating impact of Israel's retaliatory campaign, which has killed at least 44,532 people in Gaza, mostly civilians.

Israel has defended its actions, stating that it is acting in accordance with international law and defending itself against Hamas's "genocidal" attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of 1,208 people, mostly civilians.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with Palestinians facing severe shortages of essential resources, including housing, drinking water, electricity, and medical care. The Amnesty International report serves as a "wake-up call" for the international community, highlighting the need for immediate action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza .
