"We must recognize genocide and insist that war cannot justify it in any way," the report said.

Amnesty said the report is based on fieldwork, interviews with 212 people, including victims, witnesses and medical professionals in Gaza, analysis of extensive visual and digital evidence and more than 100 statements from Israeli government and military actors. which he said constituted "dehumanizing speech". He also used video and photographic evidence of soldiers committing or celebrating war crimes.
Israel's actions in Gaza were examined "in their entirety, taking into account their repetition and simultaneity, as well as their immediate impact and their cumulative and mutually reinforcing consequences," he said. The results were communicated "extensively" repeatedly to the Israeli authorities, the organization added, but received no response. Thursday's release builds on the London-based human rights organization's bold stance on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. In 2022, Amnesty joined Human Rights Watch and the respected Israeli NGO B'Tselem to publish a major report accusing Israel of apartheid, part of a growing movement to redefine the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a struggle for equal rights rather than a territorial conflict. . Israeli politicians have called for the report to be withdrawn, alleging anti-Semitism.
The conflict in the Middle East continues to destroy countless lives. The scenes that have unfolded since October 7 in Gaza and Israel have haunted millions of people around the world, and the crisis is being felt with increasing intensity in Lebanon and the West Bank. As the war reaches a new phase, it is more important than ever to understand what is happening – and what comes next.
