Overview
- B’Tselem’s report says statements by senior politicians and coordinated policies demonstrate intent to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip
- Physicians for Human Rights–Israel documented a deliberate, systematic dismantling of Gaza’s healthcare system through hospital attacks, aid blockades and detentions of medical staff
- Nearly 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, and sustained bombardments have left much of Gaza’s infrastructure in ruins
- Israel’s government rejected the allegations as baseless, noting it has delivered 1.9 million tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza
- The NGOs pointed to prior findings by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN experts and an ICJ interim ruling and urged global leaders to enforce the Genocide Convention
