For the first time, two prominent Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel, have publicly accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. These groups, which have long been critical of Israeli policies, released a joint report characterizing the ongoing Israeli military actions in Gaza as meeting the legal definition of genocide. The accusations mark a notable development within Israeli society, as such strong language has not been previously used by major local NGOs. The Israeli government denies these allegations, maintaining that its military operations target Hamas militants rather than the Palestinian population as a whole. The report also warns of the potential spread of such actions to the West Bank. This unprecedented condemnation comes amid nearly 22 months of conflict in Gaza and represents a significant shift in the discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
