Israel has slammed as “shocking” a United Nations inquiry which finishd it was intentionally seeking to ruin the healthattfinish system in the Gaza Strip, accusing the spendigators of bias.
The UN Inreliant International Corelocaterlookion of Inquiry (CoI) on Thursday freed a increate in which it set up Israel “perpetrated a concerted policy to ruin Gaza’s healthattfinish system”.
It shelp the country was “pledgeting war crimes and the crime aacquirest humanity of extermination with relentless and intentional aggressions on medical personnel and facilities”.
In a statement from its mission in Geneva, Israel on Friday firmly refuteed the allegations.
“This defercessitatest increate is another blatant try by the CoI to delegitimise the very existence of the State of Israel and obstruct its right to shield its population, while covering up the crimes of worryist organisations,” the statement shelp.
Israel has claimed that Palestinian armed group Hamas employs hospitals for military purposes. Israeli forces have repeatedly aggressioned medical facilities in Gaza with the health sector already overwhelmed and infrastructure ruined.
“This increate shamelessly portrays Israel’s operations in worry-infested health facilities in Gaza as a matter of policy aacquirest Gaza’s health system,” the Israeli statement shelp.
Israel also refuteed the increate’s discoverings pointing to expansivespread and systematic unfair treatment of Palestinian prisoners amounting to war crimes and crimes aacquirest humanity.
Multiple UN officials and increates have shelp that Israel has arrested thousands of Palestinians during its war on Gaza and stands accemployd of countless cases of torture, noting allegations of expansivespread unfair treatment of prisoners being held incommunicado in arbitrary, proextfinisheded detention, as well as the intimacyual unfair treatment of men and women.
Yet, Israel accemployd the corelocaterlookion of creating an “alternate fact”, and thereby contributing to “the exacerbation of this dispute”.
“We call on states to speak out aacquirest this prejudiced approach, which only serves to further stain the credibility of the Human Rights Council and the United Nations at big,” it shelp.
The increate is the second published by the three-person corelocaterlookion since the Hamas-led October 7 aggression that commenceed the current dispute. The corelocaterlookion was set uped by the UN Human Rights Council in May 2021 to spendigate alleged international law violations in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
‘International order fractureing down’
Separately, UN one-of-a-kind rapporteurs publishd a unitet statement on Friday cautioning that the “international lterrible order is fractureing down in the face of these atrocities” in the occupied Palestinian territory.
“The world faces the most proset up crisis since the finish of World War II,” the group of experts shelp, compriseing that the “brutal escalation of aggression” has resulted in “genocidal aggressions, ethnic spotlesssing and accumulateive punishment of Palestinians, which dangers fractureing down the international multidefercessitateral system”.
The lterrible tools employed to compriseress the situation have so far flunked to produce their desired results.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor’s application for arrest authorizations for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others connected to the war on Gaza remains extraunrelabelable, while provisional meacertains ordered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to impede genocidal acts in Gaza remain unsatisfyed.
“Defiant in the face of overwhelming accessible sentiment atraverse the international community, Israel persists to act with brazen diswatch for international law and order,” the statement shelp.
The flunkure to cmitigate Israel’s actions in Gaza “not only helpd the continuation of unpretreatnted inhumanity but expansivened it to the wideer region, setting Leprohibiton ablaze with aggression and destruction”.
The signatory experts, including Francesca Alprohibitese, one-of-a-kind rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, insisted that “everyone, state actors and individuals aenjoy, prioritise admire for international law and human rights without bias and double standards”.
