The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), comprising around 500 members, declared that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute genocide. This decision, supported by 86% of voting members, has intensified international criticism of Israel. Israel vehemently denies the accusation, countering that Hamas's actions were also genocidal. The IAGS cites indiscriminate attacks on civilians and infrastructure as evidence. This follows similar accusations from other organizations and countries, raising significant international tensions.
