Two prominent Israeli human rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), have publicly accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This marks the first time such accusations have come from major Israeli groups. Their joint report, based on investigations conducted by both organizations, asserts that Israel's military actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide and warn of potential expansion of these actions to the West Bank. The Israeli government strongly denies these allegations, maintaining that its operations target Hamas militants rather than Palestinians as a whole. The accusations represent a notable shift in discourse within Israeli civil society, as these groups have historically been critical of Israeli policies but had not previously used the term genocide. The report and statements by these organizations have drawn international attention and sparked debate over the nature and legality of Israel's conduct in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.
