Israel's actions in Gaza "point to an ongoing genocide," a group of independent United Nations human rights experts said Thursday, in a claim denied by Israel's foreign ministry.
The experts — many of whom are known as UN special rapporteurs — said "the grave violations committed by Israel against Palestinians after October 7, particularly in Gaza, point to an ongoing genocide," according to a UN press release. . Special Procedures Group on Human Rights.
The experts described Israel's actions as "the use of powerful weaponry with indiscriminate natural impacts, resulting in a colossal number of deaths and the destruction of stable infrastructure," and argued in the statement that these actions could not be justified as self-defense.
"To be legitimate, Israel's response must be strictly within the framework of international humanitarian law," the experts said. "The presence of underground tunnels in parts of Gaza does not eliminate the civilian status of individuals and infrastructure that cannot be directly targeted nor suffer disproportionately."
