Israel rejects UN Commission finding that it is committing genocide in Gaza.
|
|
Israel rejected the conclusions, which echo those of a growing group of governments and human rights organizations.
|
|
It comes as a UN commission of inquiry found that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.
|
|
In earlier reports, the commission found that Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in its conflict with Hamas, but stopped short of calling it genocide. Israel denounced the accusation as "fake."
|
|
The report issued Tuesday by experts commissioned by the United Nations' Human Rights Council calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible.
