Intl. Association of Genocide Scholars: Israel's actions in Gaza meet legal definition of genocide [View all]

The International Association of Genocide Scholars says that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. The group passed the resolution on Sunday, joining a chorus of countries, experts and rights groups who say Israel's actions meet the United Nations' definition of genocide. Israel's leaders have denied prior allegations of genocide. More than 63,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and famine is now gripping parts of the enclave due to a partial Israeli blockade.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that the Trump administration is crafting a sweeping postwar redevelopment plan for Gaza, and the State Department has instructed its overseas diplomats to refuse visas for most Palestinian Authority passport holders.
