Israeli human rights groups accuse Israel of committing genocide in Gaza
In its report, B'Tselem said it reached that "unequivocal conclusion", after what it called 'an examination of Israel's policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes.'
The second organisation, Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), has published a separate report in which it describes the 'deliberate and systematic extermination of the health system in Gaza.'
It adds, 'This is not about collateral damage from war, but a deliberate policy aimed at harming the Palestinian population as a group.'
The conclusions reached by the two groups have been rejected by the Israeli government.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said the reports were politically motivated and that the allegations were "obscene" and "baseless". It also claimed that Israel takes "extensive measures" to avoid harming civilians.
ITV News has interviewed Tirzah Leibovitz from PHRI who says she hopes their report will help in "setting off some processes on the international level" that will cause an end to the conflict in Gaza.

Keir Starmer's Palestine stance risks pleasing no one
Photo by Toby Melville / AFP via Getty Images Keir Starmer found himself politically cornered on Palestine. More than a third of the cabinet, including Angela Rayner, David Lammy, Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood, privately – and in Wes Streeting's case, publicly – pushed for faster recognition of statehood. Over 130 Labour MPs signed a letter to the Prime Minister demanding the same. Only a month after the welfare vote debacle, Starmer could not afford to become isolated from his party once more (recall how Tony Blair's support of Israel's 2006 war in Lebanon hastened his downfall). The result was an emergency cabinet meeting yesterday and the dramatic announcement that the UK will recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September unless Israel abides by a ceasefire and commits to a two-state solution (a shift that Jonathan Powell, Starmer's national security adviser, prepared the ground for in the US last week). Support for Palestinian statehood in principle isn't new – it first became Labour policy under Ed Miliband in 2014 – but this plan most certainly is. Until yesterday, the government's stance was that recognition was dependent on a prior ceasefire and a long-term peace plan (including the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas). In short, non-recognition of Palestine was the default outcome. Now this position has, in effect, been reversed: a ceasefire is no longer a precondition, making recognition by far the likeliest result. In practice, government sources make clear, they do not expect Israel to follow the UK's conditions (Benjamin Netanyahu has never favoured a two-state solution). While there are still 'demands' on Hamas, including the release of the hostages and the acceptance of a ceasefire, it's telling that these are not being presented as conditions (though No 10 emphasises that 'we will judge both parties on their progress before making a final decision in September'). Not for the first time in Starmer's premiership, it's a nuanced position that has managed to upset both sides for different reasons. 'Starmer rewards Hamas's monstrous terrorism & punishes its victims,' Netanyahu declared last night, a critique echoed by Nigel Farage and much of the British right (though No 10 will be relieved by Donald Trump's unusually phlegmatic response: 'That's OK, it doesn't mean I have to agree'). Hostage families have warned that 'the UK's approach risks disincentivising Hamas from releasing the hostages'. Meanwhile, a striking array of left and liberal figures, including Ed Davey, Jeremy Corbyn and the Greens' likely next leader Zack Polanski all level the same charge at Starmer: that he is treating Palestinian statehood as a 'bargaining chip'. Labour critics take much the same view: recognition should have been both faster and unconditional. 'It's certainly not a moral awakening, more a strategic repositioning,' one prominent MP tells me. Downing Street insists that Starmer's move is both principled – he regards Palestinian statehood as an 'inalienable' right – and pragmatic: the announcement is timed to advance peace amid a humanitarian catastrophe.

US government alleges UCLA violated federal civil rights law
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department alleged on Tuesday that the University of California, Los Angeles has failed to prevent a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli students since campus protests erupted after the start of Israel's war in Gaza. The Justice Department alleged UCLA violated federal civil rights law. The university had no immediate comment. The U.S. government has been probing multiple universities, including UCLA, for their handling of last year's pro-Palestinian protests against Israel's military assault in Gaza, which followed an October 2023 Hamas attack. President Donald Trump's administration has threatened to freeze federal funding for U.S. universities over the demonstrations. Rights advocates have raised concerns about free speech, academic freedom and due process. The government alleges that universities, including UCLA, did not control antisemitism during the demonstrations. Trump has repeatedly labeled pro-Palestinian protesters as antisemitic and as supporters of extremism. Protesters say the government wrongly equates criticism of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories with antisemitism and advocacy for Palestinian rights with support for extremism. Campus protesters demanded an end to U.S. support for Israel and a commitment that their universities will cease investing in weapons makers and companies that support Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Rights advocates have noted a rise in antisemitism, Islamophobia and anti-Arab bias in the U.S. due to Washington ally Israel's war in Gaza. Earlier on Tuesday, UCLA agreed to pay over $6 million to settle a lawsuit by some students and a professor who alleged antisemitism. Concerns of anti-Palestinian incidents were also raised at UCLA in the spring of 2024, when a pro-Israeli mob stormed and attacked the tent camp of pro-Palestinian protesters with clubs and poles in one of the most violent incidents from the protests. On Monday, prosecutors said a man charged with hate crime for his role in that attack entered a plea deal for a diversionary program to avoid jail time, marking the end of the only felony case connected with that attack. Dozens of people were arrested during the UCLA encampment protests. Then-UCLA police chief John Thomas left the campus police department last year. The Justice Department said, opens new tab it now seeks to enter into a voluntary resolution agreement with UCLA "to ensure that the hostile environment is eliminated and reasonable steps are taken to prevent its recurrence." Last week, Columbia University in New York City said it will pay over $200 million to the U.S. government in a settlement with the Trump administration to resolve federal probes and have most of its suspended federal funding restored.

Starmer faces pushback for opening door to Palestinian statehood
Sir Keir Starmer is facing pushback after announcing the UK will recognise a Palestinian state if the crisis in Gaza is not brought to an end. The Prime Minister said the UK could take the step of recognising Palestine's statehood in September, ahead of a major UN gathering. The UK will only refrain from doing so if Israel allows more aid into Gaza, stops annexing land in the West Bank, agrees to a ceasefire and signs up to a long-term, peace process over the next two months.
