Amnesty International became the first major human rights organization to accuse Israel of carrying out genocide in Gaza, drawing a rebuke from Israeli officials.
The 296-page report claims that Israel's unlawful conduct during its military offensive caused unprecedented harm to Palestinians in Gaza, leading to massive scale killings.
Lawyers explain that proving genocide is complex in international law, requiring proof of specific intent to destroy a group, which Israeli leaders deny.
In an unusual reaction, the Israel chapter of Amnesty protested the report's findings, asserting local members believe that the genocide claim is unsubstantiated.
