Israeli Ambassador Rejects "Gaza Genocide" Tag
The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Roey Gilad, has criticized Ghana's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, for adopting a recent UN report that accuses Israel of conducting genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Ambassador Gilad called the move "a very wrong thing to do" during a press briefing, challenging the basis of the accusation. He argued that the designation of genocide carries immense historical gravity, especially when applied to the Jewish state.
“Genocide is a very, very serious blame, especially when you blame Israel,”
Ambassador Gilad noted that the term "genocide" was coined by Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944, a survivor of the Holocaust, to depict the atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust.
The controversy follows the release of a comprehensive report by the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
