UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese accused Israel of committing acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza during its war with Hamas. The report cited violations of the UN Genocide Convention, alleging Israel’s intent to physically destroy Palestinians as a group. Israel rejected the report, denouncing it as biased and refuting the allegations. The US dismissed the claims, stating there’s no evidence of Israeli genocide. Albanese’s report also highlighted Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as terrorists and the longstanding mistreatment preceding the conflict. Israel faces criticism from South Africa at the International Court of Justice for alleged violations of the genocide convention.
