Israeli hostages Law team head Dr Shelly Aviv Yeini has strongly contradicted UN Special Rapporteurs statement that Gaza situation is evolving into a genocide, he said an examination of Israel’s actual practices contradicts the aforementioned assertion.
Contrary to the allegations, Israel has permitted the entry of fuel and humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, said Shelly.
However, it is regrettably noted that there exists no assurance that 240 Israeli hostages in Gaza, including 90 women and 40 children, will receive or has received requisite medical care and basic humanitarian treatment, the lawyer said in his statement.
He emphasized that it is essential to refrain from engaging in a doctrinally unsound and unhelpful analysis that prioritizes weightless commentary over tangible actions. If the special rapporteurs aim to advance relief in the region, their foundational focus should unequivocally be the immediate release of all hostages.
It is imperative for the international community to exert every effort within its purview to secure the safe return of the hostages said Hostages International Law Team Head
