Amnesty Accuses Israel Of Genocide Against Palestinians In Gaza

A general view of Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on December 5, 2024. Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza war, which Israel strongly denies. The UK-based human rights group said its conclusion was based on “dehumanising and genocidal statements” by Israeli officials, digital images and witness testimony and must serve as “a wake-up call” to the international community. Israel’s foreign ministry described the 295-page report as “entirely false and based on lies”, while the Israeli military said the claims were “entirely baseless and fail to account for the operational realities” it faces. In the past day, meanwhile, local medics say at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza. Photo by Ramez Habboub/ABACAPRES.COM
