Amnesty said the United States and other allies of Israel could be complicit in genocide, and called on them to halt arms shipments.
Amnesty International accused Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip during its war with Hamas, saying it has sought to deliberately destroy Palestinians by mounting deadly attacks, demolishing vital infrastructure and preventing the delivery of food, medicine and other aid.
“The deplorable and fanatical organisation Amnesty International has once again produced a fabricated report that is entirely false and based on lies,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Israel accused Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate Israel, of carrying out a genocidal massacre in the attack that triggered the war, and said it was defending itself in accordance with international law.
To establish intent, Amnesty said it reviewed more than 100 statements by Israeli government and military officials and others since the start of the war that “dehumanised Palestinians, called for or justified genocidal acts or other crimes against them”. It also analysed 15 airstrikes from the start of the war until April that killed at least 334 civilians, including 141 children, and wounded hundreds of other people. It said it found no evidence that any of those strikes were directed at military objectives.
