Top UN Gaza investigator hopeful Israeli leaders will be prosecuted
Navi Pillay draws parallels between Gaza and Rwanda genocides, highlighting dehumanization and ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders amid ongoing investigations.
- On Tuesday, the fact-finding panel led by Navi Pillay released a report determining that genocide is taking place in Gaza and accusing Israeli officials of fomenting it.
- The report followed mounting evidence of targeted violence against Palestinians, with Pillay noting parallels to the 1994 Rwanda genocide where Tutsis were systematically slaughtered.
- Pillay described the dehumanization of Palestinians and traumatic videos showing sexual violence and abuse of doctors, while Israel rejected the findings as distorted and false.
- Pillay said, "it's ok to kill them" describes the target group’s dehumanization, and she considers it not impossible that arrests and trials could happen despite ICC’s enforcement challenges.
- Pillay will leave the commission in November due to age and health, leaving the task of documenting perpetrators and exploring complicity of supporting countries to her successor.
