"In his statement on Sunday, Wales said he assumes good faith of everyone who has worked on this Gaza genocide' article. However, he continued: At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia's voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of WP:NPOV (Wikipedia Neutral Point of View) and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV (Wikipedia Attribute Point of View) that requires immediate correction. He added that this was non-negotiable."
"In a statement on the page's discussion section on Sunday when all further editing was blocked, Wales said he had been asked in a high-profile media interview about the page, which stated in its first line that the genocide was an ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel during the Gaza war."
Jimmy Wales blocked editing access to the Wikipedia Gaza genocide page and locked it until a specified time or until editing disputes are resolved. The page's lede describes an ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza attributed to Israel during the Gaza war. Wales determined that the lede and overall presentation present the claim in Wikipedia's voice despite it being highly contested, in breach of WP:NPOV and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, and demanded immediate correction. He proposed a neutral lede that begins by attributing differing positions to governments, NGOs, and legal bodies.
