An independent United Nations inquiry commission has concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but a "serious weakness" in the UN's Security Council could prevent taking action in accord with the Genocide Convention, said Fr.
"The Commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza," said commission chair Navi Pillay.
"It is clear that there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention."
"We — for the moment — have not done so yet," said the cardinal, adding, "This remains to be seen.
"It is not unheard of for a 14-1 resolution being stopped in its tracks by such a veto."
