Gaza : une commission mandatée par l’ONU accuse Israël de « génocide »
Une commission d’enquête du Conseil des droits de l’homme de l’ONU considère, dans un rapport publié mardi 16 septembre, qu’Israël est en train de commettre un « génocide » à l’égard des Palestiniens dans le cadre de la guerre menée dans la bande de Gaza en riposte aux attaques terroristes du Hamas, le 7 octobre 2023.
Le rapport juge que l’Etat hébreu commet quatre des cinq catégories de faits qui définissent le crime de génocide, selon la convention de 1948.
Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, says UN commission of inquiry
A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
A new report says there are reasonable grounds to conclude that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas in 2023: killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births.
Israel’s foreign ministry said it categorically rejected the report, denouncing it as « distorted and false ».
An Israeli spokesperson accused the three experts on the UN commission of serving as « Hamas proxies » and relying « entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others » that had « already been thoroughly debunked ».
Israeli rights groups accuse government of genocide: ‘We are doing it with a heavy heart’
Leaders of B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel say they’re taking this step because « Denial is what allows these atrocities to continue.”
