UN experts: 'Israel' is committing genocide, planning to wipe out life in Gaza
NEW YORK, June 11 (YPA) – UN experts said that Israeli occupation committed a crime against humanity amounting to 'genocide' by killing civilians who had sought refuge in schools and religious sites in the Gaza Strip as part of a 'systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life'. In its report released on Tuesday, the committee noted that the occupying authorities have destroyed more than 90% of school and university buildings and more than half of the religious and cultural sites in Gaza. It concluded that the occupation committed war crimes, 'including directing attacks against civilians and educational facilities. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and 'Israel' was scheduled to present its report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on June 17. 'We are witnessing mounting evidence that Israel is waging a systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life in Gaza.' Navi Pillay, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who chairs the commission, said in a statement, 'Israel's targeting of the educational, cultural, and religious life of the Palestinian people will harm current and future generations and undermine their right to self-determination.' The occupying authorities withdrew from the Human Rights Council in February, claiming it was biased. When the commission's latest report in March concluded that 'Israel' had committed 'acts of genocide' against Palestinians through the systematic destruction of women's healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the findings as biased and anti-Semitic. In response to the 'Al-Aqsa Intifada' Hamas launched on October 7, 2023, the occupying authorities launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip that, according to health authorities in the Strip, resulted in the deaths of more than 54,000 Palestinians. The report concluded that the damage to the Palestinian education system was not limited to Gaza, pointing to increased Israeli military operations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with harassment of students and attacks by settlers there. 'The Israeli authorities also targeted Israeli and Palestinian education workers and students inside Israel who expressed concern for or solidarity with civilians in Gaza, resulting in harassment, dismissal, or suspension, and in some cases, arrest and detention in a humiliating manner,' the report stated, adding that the Israeli authorities particularly target female teachers and students with the aim of deterring women and girls from activism in public spaces.'

Jihad mourns death of its leader, Raeq Basharat, in Tubas
Tubas - Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has moured the death of its leader, Raeq Abdulrahman Basharat, to the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic world. Basharat was assassinated by the Israeli special forces last night in the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas. In a press statement issued Wednesday, the Islamic Jihad Movement said, "The martyred leader played a prominent role during the 1987 Intifada and was subjected to an assassination attempt in 2002, during which his wife was martyred and his hands were amputated." It noted that Basharat had been arrested numerous times, totaling over nine years, and had gone on a hunger strike for 53 days in 2022 to protest his administrative detention before his release. It emphasized that Basharat "never hesitated to fulfill his duty and pursued his responsibilities with unwavering determination and resolve." The movement stressed that the targeting of leaders and mujahideen by the Israeli enemy's gangs will not weaken the resolve of the Palestinian people, nor will it weaken the resistance's will to continue confronting the occupation. Rather, their pure blood, which waters the land of Palestine, will produce generations more resilient and more formidable. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
