    Wong responds to UN commission of inquiry’s Gaza genocide finding

    The foreign minister, Penny Wong, says the situation in Gaza had “gone beyond the world’s worst fears” before the UN commission of inquiry concluded that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

    The UN released its report on Tuesday, and found top Israeli officials including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had incited these acts.

    In a statement, Wong said the government has “condemned Israel’s denial of aid and the killing of civilians seeking to access water and food”.

    The Netanyahu government is more isolated than ever. Israel will be judged by the international court of justice on its compliance with the genocide convention.

    We reiterate our demand on the Netanyahu government to reach a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, and to stop undermining a two state solution.

    Wong said the government remains unequivocal in its condemnation of Hamas, and calls for the release of hostages.
