“Amnesty International concludes that, over a month after a ceasefire was agreed upon in Gaza and all living Israeli hostages were returned, the Israeli authorities continue to pursue the textbook definition of genocide ‘by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.’ Moreover, Israeli leaders continue openly to affirm that this course of action is intentional on their parts. … The Secretary General of Amnesty International, Agnes Callamard, observed that ‘Palestinians remain held within less than half of the territory of Gaza, in the areas least capable of supporting life, with humanitarian aid still severely restricted.’ Amnesty says that the Israeli military continues to occupy on the order of 55% of the Gaza Strip. There has been no move to rehabilitate the farmland that has been deliberately destroyed by the Israelis over two years or rebuild livestock.” (11/30/25)
