Amnesty's Genocide Accusation Against Israel Sparks Global Debate
The U.S. State Department has rejected Amnesty International's report accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, stating the allegations are unfounded. Israel and its local Amnesty branch also dispute the report's findings, which claim Israel committed acts under the Genocide Convention. The report's conclusions are based on alleged intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, a key factor in defining genocide under international law. The issue remains contentious, with ongoing legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
