Amnesty International's damning report demands immediate action from the international community to halt Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The evidence presented of Israel's systematic killing of civilians, infliction of inhumane living conditions, and obstruction of humanitarian aid amounts to genocide under the Genocide Convention. Israel's actions demonstrate a clear intent to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza through unlawful military strikes, mass forced displacement into uninhabitable areas, and denial of essential services. Urgent steps must be taken to end these atrocities, ensure accountability for perpetrators, and allow unconditional humanitarian access. The ongoing impunity for Israel's violations enabled this genocide. All states must use every available legal avenue, including arresting those wanted by the International Criminal Court, to bring the architects of these crimes to justice and prevent further loss of innocent Palestinian lives in Gaza.
