UN expert accuses Israel of several acts of 'genocide' in Gaza

Geneva: A UN rights expert on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) said there were 'reasonable grounds' to determine that Israel has committed several acts of 'genocide' in its war in Gaza, also warning of 'ethnic cleansing.'

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories, said there were clear indications that Israel had violated three of the five acts listed under the UN Genocide Convention.
