The Israeli army announced, in a joint statement with the Shin Bet Security Service, on Wednesday, the recovery of the body of kidnapped Itai Svirsky, who was detained in the Gaza Strip, and was buried in Israel.
Svirsky was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri, adjacent to the Gaza Strip, during the October 7 attack. According to the statement, he “was killed while in the custody of his kidnappers.”
The statement added that his body was transferred from the Gaza Strip to Israel after a joint operation between the shin Bet and the Israeli army, and his identity was later steadfast and his family was informed.
In turn,Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed,on Wednesday,that his government will continue to work “tirelessly” to recover all those kidnapped in gaza,“living or dead,” after recovering the body of a hostage who was kidnapped in the Gaza Strip.
In a related context, Amnesty International said on Thursday that it had found “sufficient evidence proving that Israel has committed, and is still committing, the crime of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
Representatives of the organization held a press conference in the Dutch city of The Hague, on Wednesday, in wich they revealed the results of an examination conducted by the organization’s researchers, entitled “You Do not Feel Like a Human Being in Gaza: The Genocide Committed by Israel Against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
“Amnesty International’s report clearly demonstrates that Israel committed acts prohibited by the Genocide Convention, with the specific and specific intent of destroying Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” said Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
These actions, according to Callamard, include “killing palestinians in the Gaza Strip, inflicting physical or psychological harm on them, and deliberately subjecting them to living conditions intended for their physical destruction.”
According to Kalmar,for months,“Israel continued to treat the Palestinians as if they were a sub-human group that did not deserve human rights or dignity,and showed that its intention was their physical destruction.”
“Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call to the international community: This is genocide, and it must stop now,” she added.
This report would increase pressure on the Israeli government, with international demands to stop its military operation.
The organization documents with evidence what it described as “Israel opening the gates of hell and destruction on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, in a blatant and continuous manner, with complete impunity, during its military attack on the Strip in the wake of the deadly attacks led by Hamas in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.”
Amnesty International also urges the UN Security Council to “impose targeted sanctions on Israeli and Hamas officials most involved in crimes under international law.”
