Amnesty International has said Israel is “still committing genocide”
against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire agreed
last month.
The fragile, US-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas came into
effect on 10 October, after two years of war.
“The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza
is returning to normal,” said Amnesty’s secretary general, Agnčs
Callamard. “But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the
scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid
into Gaza, the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not
over.”
Contacted by Agence France-Presse, the Israeli foreign ministry did
not immediately respond to the allegations. When faced with such
allegations previously, the ministry has vehemently rejected them as
“entirely false”, “fabricated” and “based on lies”.
The 1948 UN genocide convention defines genocide as any of five “acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national,
ethnic, racial or religious group”.
In December 2024, Amnesty concluded that Israel was committing
genocide in Gaza by three of those acts – including deliberately
inflicting on Palestinians conditions of life calculated to bring
about their physical destruction.
In an update on Thursday, Amnesty said: “Israel continues to severely
restrict the entry of supplies and the restoration of services
essential for the survival of the civilian population.
