Amnesty International has declared that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Amnesty International released a report on December 6, 2024, stating that Israel and its military violated the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Crime of Genocide.

The nearly 300-page report is the result of a nine-month investigation into the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel.

The investigation into the crimes committed by Israel in Gaza, shows that the attacks of the Israeli war happened ten times between the month of October 2023 and April 2024 and killed 334 civilians including 141 children.

The fact that this war involves civilians, shows that Israel is not only fighting with soldiers because it does not care about the lives of the people.

Their investigation showed that the fact that Israel asked people to leave their communities fleeing the fighting and leaving in large numbers led to about two million people leaving their homes, followed by the problem of not being provided with proper aid.

This report says that this was done by Israel in order to gradually kill them.

Agnes Gallamard, the general secretary of the organization, Amnesty International announced that the findings of the investigation included in this collection should show the world that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide.

Israel has declared that Amnesty International’s collection is based on bare lies. He said that this organization is ashamed of what it reported and did not investigate the war Israel is fighting with Hamas because it did not reveal the role of Hamas and those it kidnapped.

Amnesty International did not say that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine only because the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, in May this year, announced that his country is going to join South Africa in the case against Israel at the International Criminal Court. (International Criminal Court – CPI) of The Hague, for committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

South Africa has also recently confirmed that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the ongoing war in Gaza. He added that Israel has a plan to destroy Gaza and that plan comes from the top of the country’s leadership.

South Africa has also asked the International Criminal Court to order Israel to stop its attacks.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted by the ICC, as has former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes related to the war their country has waged in various parts of Palestine, including the Gaza Strip.

The judge of this Court based in The Hague in the Netherlands, said that he issued the warrants for the arrest of two people, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity that they are suspected of committing from October 8, 2023 to October 20, 2023. May 2024, when the Prosecutor’s Office filed a complaint to arrest them.

South Africa said that nearly 85% of Gaza’s population has been driven from their homes, a quarter of that population is suffering from severe hunger, and much of Gaza has been destroyed.

South Africa considers that these Israeli actions in Palestine are Genocide and have been planned for many years, and were not even in the form of revenge against Palestine.

On December 3, 2024, in New York at the headquarters of the United Nations, a resolution was passed by the United Nations, requesting the recognition of the independence of Palestine as a State and Israel’s withdrawal from its occupied territories because that will provide lasting peace.

This decision is called ‘Peaceful settlement of the Palestinian problem’ and aims to support that in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there will be two countries that live in peace, each with its own borders, based on the first borders of 1967.

The resolution also requires Israel to withdraw from occupied Palestinian territories including East Jerusalem. You called for consideration of the Palestinian right to self-determination and the right to an independent state.

A statement issued by the United Nations said that the decision requires Israel to comply with its obligations under international law, including the cessation of illegal activities in the Palestinian territories.
