Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and Al Mezan have dismissed Israel's military investigation into the deaths of 15 Palestinian rescue workers in Gaza last March.
-
In a joint statement, the groups said: "The Israeli military’s self-exonerating report appears designed to whitewash atrocities and shield perpetrators, not to deliver justice."
-
They condemned the findings as a "gross distortion of reality", accusing Israel of covering up what may constitute a war crime.
-
The sole survivor, Palestine Red Crescent Society medic Assad al-Nasasrah, remains detained by Israel. Over 300 healthcare workers from Gaza have been held since October 2023.
-
MAP and Al Mezan demanded "genuine international accountability" for the killings.
