Israel hits back at UN investigation
Israel has called the UN’s finding of genocide in its war on Gaza “fabricated”.
“The report relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Israel has previously rejected UN probes that have found it deliberately sought to destroy the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip and committed crimes against humanity, accusing investigators of bias.
Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 64,871 people and wounded 164,610. Thousands more are believed to be under the rubble.
UN chair accuses Israel of dismissing Gaza conduct concerns with routine responses
UN Commission chair on the Palestinian territory, Chris Sidoti, has accused Israel of refusing to engage with organisations which have raised concerns about the conduct of its army in Gaza.
At a news conference alongside Navi Pillay, he said: “They say the same thing every time. They’re producing the response by ChatGPT these days, and they spend so much money in the Foreign Ministry on propaganda, you’d think they’d come up with something original.”
Sidoti added that Israel should engage with the evidence of the report rather than dismiss findings.
