The UN High Human Rights Commissioner denounced on Monday, September 8, the “genocidal rhetoric” of Israeli leaders in Gaza on Monday, September 8, asking the international community to avoid a genocide in this “cemetery” that has become the Palestinian territory.
“I am horrified by the detour of a genocidal rhetoric and the shameful dehumanization of the Palestinians by senior Israeli officials,” Volker Türk said at the opening of the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
He called “act now to end the butcher shop,” believing that the international community “lacks their duty.”
“We lack our duty to the population of Gaza. Where are the decisive measures to prevent a genocide? Why don’t countries do more to prevent criminal atrocities?” He continued. “The region claims La Paz. Gaza is a cemetery,” he said.
“The massacres of Palestinian civilians (…) are aware of surprise in the world”
The Palestinian territory besieged by Israel is devastated and prey to famine according to the UN. The Israeli army, who says he controls approximately 75% of the Gaza Strip and 40% of Gaza-Ville, said he wanted to take this last agglomeration, the largest in the territory located in the north.
The Israeli devastating offensive was launched in the Gaza Strip in response to an unprecedented attack on October 7, 2023 by Hamas infiltrated commands in the south of Israel of the neighboring Palestinian territory.
“The massacres of the Palestinian civilians perpetrated by Israel in Gaza; indescribable sufferings and the mass destruction that inflicts; the obstacle to sufficient vital aid and the starvation resulting for civilians; the murders of journalists, UN staff and NGO employees, and war crimes that are awareness in the world.” Türk affected volker.

The High Commissioner asks countries to “stop the influx to Israel de Armas that they probably violate the laws of war” and that “exert maximum pressure to obtain a high fire, the release of hostages and arbitrarily detained persons, and the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid in Gapa, by all means at their disposal.”
He also calls them to take “decisive actions to oppose the Gaza military control project by Israel and the accelerated annexation of occupied West Bank.”
