Palestinian factions accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza
The factions accused Israel—backed by the United States and met with silence from European and international institutions—of waging a total war aimed at breaking Palestinian resistance.
They warned that the scale and brutality of Israeli attacks amount to war crimes under international law and surpass previous assaults in their severity.
The statement demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government be held fully responsible for policies of siege and deliberate starvation. The United States, they said, must also be held accountable for enabling the offensive by refusing to pressure Israel to halt its campaign.
The factions condemned what they described as the complicity of the international community, particularly the European Union, for failing to act.
They called on Palestinians worldwide, along with Arab and Islamic countries, to step up political and media efforts to 'stop the genocide' and 'end the siege' on Gaza.

Two Israeli rights groups say Israel commiting genocide in Gaza in national first
B'tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, two major Israeli rights groups, have published a new report stating that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute genocide. The report marks the first time any Israeli NGOs have formally used the term "genocide" to describe Israel's ongoing military campaign in the enclave, although many prominent international NGOs, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and a United Nations Special Committee have been using the term for several months. Writing on X, B'tselem described Israel's war on Gaza as an "explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there." "That is the exact definition of genocide," the post continued.
