USA affirms that the report on the Gaza genocide of the UN Commission lacks credibility
The United States has affirmed on Thursday night the UN Security Council that the report of an Independent Research Commission that accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza includes lies and has no credibility.
“We consider that it is a defamatory report that lacks credibility. It presents lies and distortions for the benefit of Hamas,” said the US representative, Morgan Ortagus, after vetoing a resolution of the council that requested a high fire in the strip.
Ortagus has insisted that the commissioners who wrote this report have “background of bias”, which according to her “violates their own norms” of the United Nations. And he stressed that this report is an example of the “moral bankruptcy” of the Human Rights Council and why the US decided not to participate in this body anymore. “It should have been eliminated (the commission) and an end to its hunting of anti -Semitic witches,” he added.
On Tuesday, an INUU INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION of the UN – directed by one of the most respected personalities in the world in this area and presided by the International Criminal Court created following the genocide in Rwanda, Navi Pillay – published a report in which it concludes that “Israeli security authorities and security forces committed four of the five genocidal acts”, according to the definition of this crime in international law. These four acts are: killing, causing serious physical or mental damage, deliberately inflict living conditions calculated to cause the destruction of the Palestinians as a whole or in part, and impose measures to prevent births.
The United States has vetoed a resolution of the Council that requested a high fire in Gaza, the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas and the immediate entry of humanitarian aid in the strip. Ortagus explained that the US has opposed the document because this “does not condemn Hamas or recognize Israel’s right to defend and legitimates the false narratives that benefit him.”
The Israeli representative, Danny Danon, has criticized during his speech that in the resolution it is not written that “all acts of terrorism are criminal and unfair” nor that the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 “must be convicted.” Danon has also reiterated that hunger “is never and has never been an Israel policy”, despite the fact that the integrated classification of food security (CIF) has declared famine in northern Gaza last August.
The Palestinian representative, Riyad Mansour, has described as “unfortunate and painful” that the resolution has not come forward, which prevents the Council from playing “the role that corresponds to these atrocities” and protects civilians “before the genocide.” (EFE)
