UN warns of genocide as Israel intensifies Gaza offensive
The UN commission of inquiry has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, a charge firmly denied by Jerusalem.
The accusation came as Israel launched ground operations in Gaza City, accompanied by waves of airstrikes and artillery fire. Residents describe “entire blocks levelled,” while costs of escape have surged beyond affordability.
Hundreds of thousands have already fled, but many remain trapped. The operation has drawn condemnation from multiple governments, including the UK and Germany.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, however, aligned with Netanyahu in Jerusalem, suggesting Israel’s actions may be unavoidable against Hamas.
