Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani accused Israel of genocide in Gaza during his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. His accusations are claims made in the speech, not findings established by the cited sources. Israel's military says its Gaza campaign responds to the October 7 attacks and continued threats from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and that its operations target those armed groups.
