Germany Rejects Amnesty’s Claim Of Genocide In Gaza Conflict
The German government on Friday dismissed Amnesty International’s claim that Israel is committing “genocide” against Palestinians during its military operations in Gaza.
Addressing Amnesty’s report, German Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sebastian Fischer stated, “Genocide requires clear intent to eliminate an ethnic group. I do not see any such clear intent and therefore cannot agree with the report’s conclusions.”

“We take the accusations in the report very seriously and are currently analysing them,” he said.
“We have repeatedly urged the Israeli government to adjust its military operations in Gaza and better fulfil its obligations to protect civilians,” Fischer said.
“However it is still our opinion that Israel is acting in defence against Hamas which sparked this conflict with its terror attacks,” he said.
On Thursday, the London-based human rights group Amnesty International released a 300-page report on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. The report cited evidence from satellite imagery, on-the-ground fieldwork, firsthand accounts from Gazans, and alleged “dehumanising and genocidal statements” by Israeli officials.
Israel dismissed the report’s conclusions, calling them “entirely false.”

The conflict was triggered by the unprecedented October 7, 2023, attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of 1,208 people in Israel, primarily civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official data.
In response, Israel launched a large-scale military offensive on Gaza, which, according to figures from the Hamas-run health ministry deemed credible by the United Nations, has resulted in at least 44,580 deaths, the majority of whom are civilians.
