"Navi Pillay, chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, made the announcement of the UN inquiry to Al Jazeera on Tuesday. We've identified the president [Isaac Herzog], the Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and the former minister of defence [Yoav Gallant] based on their statements and the orders that they've given, Pillay said in an interview."
"Because these three individuals were agents of the state, under the law, the state is held responsible. So we say it's [the] state of Israel that has committed genocide, she added. According to the report, the Commission found that along with the statements made by the Israeli officials, there was circumstantial evidence that led to their findings of genocidal intent."
The United Nations declared Israel's war on Gaza to constitute genocide. Navi Pillay, chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, announced the finding to Al Jazeera. The Commission identified President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and former defence minister Yoav Gallant based on their statements and issued orders. Because those individuals acted as state agents, the state is held legally responsible. The Commission found circumstantial evidence alongside officials' statements that supported conclusions of genocidal intent. Additional details and follow-up reporting are expected.
