Amnesty International warns people not be diverted from 'ongoing genocide of Palestinians'

Amnesty International said on Wednesday that the world must not allow Israel's war on Iran to deflect from the suffering of people in Gaza. 

In a statement, Secretary General of Amnesty International Agnès Callamard, said: “The world must not allow Israel to use this military escalation to divert attention away from its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, its illegal occupation of the whole Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and its system of apartheid against Palestinians."
