Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds

Source: The Guardian

A previous report by the commission in September found that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that Israeli officials, including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, incited these acts. Netanyahu is separately wanted by the international criminal court (ICC) for war crimes.
