Two prominent Israeli human rights groups, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, a claim unprecedented from Jewish-led organizations within Israel. This accusation, while considered by many Israelis to be politically fringe, breaks a long-standing taboo against criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza. The groups cite Israel's policies, officials' statements, and the systematic dismantling of Gaza's infrastructure as evidence. Israel rejects the claims as baseless and politically motivated, asserting it is fighting a war against Hamas and abiding by international law. The accusation adds to ongoing international debate and legal proceedings regarding the conflict.
