Israel’s Policies and Actions in Gaza ‘Meet Legal Definition of Genocide,’ Says Association of Scholars

The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) has passed a resolution stating that Israel’s “policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.”

Citing “Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide” within its findings, the resolution argues that Israel‘s actions in response to the terrorist attack committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, have not only been directed against Hamas “but have also targeted the entire Gazan population.”
