World's top genocide scholars association says Israel committing it in Gaza

The world's leading genocide scholars' association says Israel has met the legal criteria for the crime during its ongoing onslaught in Gaza.

The president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars said on Monday that his organisation had passed a resolution that Israel had "engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide".

The resolution called on Israel to "immediately cease all acts that constitute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza".
