The Foreign Office has not disclosed a June assessment that determined no serious risk of genocide by Israel in Gaza and has not updated this assessment. Amnesty International's freedom of information request for the 2024 evaluation has gone unanswered, prompting a formal complaint. Legal experts and NGOs are increasingly asserting that Israel shows intent for genocide. The Liberal Democrat leader characterized Israel's plan to occupy Gaza City as ethnic cleansing. The Foreign Office stated they found no evidence of deliberate targeting of civilians by Israel, indicating measures to minimize civilian harm exist.
The Foreign Office has failed to release an internal assessment made in June last year that reportedly concluded that there was no serious risk of Israel committing genocide in Gaza.
An increasing number of legal experts, as well as two prominent Israeli NGOs, have recently declared Israel is showing genocidal intent in Gaza.
On Friday, the Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, described the new Israeli plan to occupy Gaza City and displace tens of thousands of Palestinians as ethnic cleansing.
No evidence has been seen that Israel is deliberately targeting civilian women or children. There is also evidence of Israel making efforts to limit incidental harm to civilians.
