There is an ongoing genocide in Palestine, which includes sham agreements that are not respected. Independent investigations linked to the UN formally identified Israeli authorities accused of incitement and perpetration of crimes against the Palestinian population.
Yoav Gallant, former Israeli Defense Minister, ordered a "complete siege" cutting off electricity, water, food, and fuel. According to the article, Israel committed acts prohibited by the 1948 Genocide Convention, including the murder of more than 70,000 civilians (majority women and children), torture practices, degrading treatment, and mass amputations of more than 1,000 children, blocking humanitarian aid, destruction of medical and sanitation infrastructure, and measures aimed at preventing births, such as the destruction of thousands of embryos in Gaza.
UN experts stated that Palestinian children were premeditated targets of Israeli security forces through snipers, aerial attacks, and remotely commanded quadcopter fleets. Amnesty International demonstrated that starvation and denial of essential goods are used as weapons of war, making Gaza uninhabitable for more than 2 million civilians, which constitutes an act of genocide.
An independent investigation requested by the UN Human Rights Council, as well as the International Association of Genocide Scholars (with 500 members worldwide), concluded that Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. The International Court of Justice held public hearings on Israel's obligations, which repeatedly disregards ICJ orders to ensure access to humanitarian assistance. The UN rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories stated that the death toll could be ten times higher than estimated, suggesting 680,000 dead in Gaza.
