This content discusses a United Nations special committee’s report that accuses Israel of using warfare methods in Gaza that are consistent with genocide. The report highlights Israel’s intentional targeting of civilians and aid workers, use of starvation as a weapon of war, and infliction of collective punishment on Palestinians. Human Rights Watch also raises concerns about mass displacement in Gaza, which some groups view as potential war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Despite US officials issuing an ultimatum to Israel, the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate. The content questions why the United States has not taken further action and explores the possibility of holding Israel accountable. The presenter is Mohammad Jamjoom, with guests Tamara Alrifai from UNRWA, Hassan Barari from Qatar University, and Nadia Hardman from Human Rights Watch.
A United Nations special committee says Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza are consistent with genocide.
In a new report, a UN committee says Israel is intentionally causing the death of civilians and aid workers, using starvation as a weapon of war, and inflicting collective punishment on Palestinians.
Separately, the Human Rights Watch NGO says 90 percent of Gaza’s people have been forced from their homes in a mass displacement drive that some rights groups say could amount to a war crime and ethnic cleansing.
Senior US officials issued an ultimatum to Israel, saying that Washington could halt arms supplies if it did not allow more aid into Gaza.
But the US deadline has passed and humanitarian organisations say the situation is only getting worse.
So, why doesn’t the United States act?
And can anyone else hold Israel to account?
Presenter: Mohammad Jamjoom
Guests:
Tamara Alrifai – Spokesperson for UNRWA
Hassan Barari – Professor of international affairs at Qatar University
Nadia Hardman – Researcher in the Refugee and Migrants Rights Division of Human Rights Watch
