Amnesty Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza; Israel Denies Allegations

Dec 5, 2024, 12:46 AM

On December 5, 2024, Amnesty International released a 300-page report alleging that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The human rights organization asserts that Israel's actions, including killings, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction, constitute prohibited acts under the Geneva Convention and international law. Amnesty is calling for urgent action from governments to address the situation. Israel has consistently rejected these allegations, labeling them as baseless and a distortion of facts.
