Grave violations committed by Israel against Palestinians in the aftermath of 7 October, particularly in Gaza, point to a genocide in the making, UN experts said today.
GENEVA (2 November 2023) – Time is running out to prevent genocide and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, UN experts warned today, expressing deep frustration with Israel’s refusal to halt plans to decimate the besieged Gaza strip. “We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide,” the experts said. “The time for action is now. Israel’s allies also bear responsibility and must act now to prevent its disastrous course of action,” they said.
Craig Mokhiber, Director of the New York office of the United Nations Human Rights Office, resigned in protest on October 31st over the UN’s worthless response to Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights. Here is the letter he wrote to UN human rights head Volker Türk on October 28th.
