A three-member panel from the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel conducted the research. It concluded that Israel met four out of five genocidal criteria as defined by the so-called “Genocide Convention” of the UN, created in 1948 in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Usually, only meeting one of the five criteria is considered sufficient for the designation of genocide. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant have all been named as responsible for the genocide campaign happening in Gaza. However, its findings can be used by the International Criminal Court or the UN’s International Court of Justice during prosecutions.
