Israel says a report by Human Rights Watch accusing it of committing “acts of genocide” in the Gaza Strip by restricting access to water for civilians was “full of lies.”
“Human Rights Watch is once more spreading its blood libels in order to promote its anti-Israel propaganda… This report is full of lies that are appalling even when compared to HRW’s already low standards,” the foreign ministry says in a statement.
