Germany rejects Amnesty International’s accusation Israel committing ‘genocide’ against Palestinians in Gaza

BERLIN – The German government rejects Amnesty International’s accusation that Israel is committing “genocide” against Palestinians in its military campaign in Gaza.

Asked for a response to Amnesty’s report, German foreign ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer tells reporters: “The question of genocide presupposes a clear intention to eradicate an ethnic group. I still do not recognize any such clear intention and therefore I cannot share the conclusions of the report.”
