Craig Mokhiber, a former top UN official, called the ongoing situation in Gaza a “genocide,” explaining and supporting his assessment by referencing “many of the specific actions” outlined in the UN Genocide Convention.
Mokhiber, former director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, resigned from his position last week in response to what he perceived as a tepid reaction from the organization during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In an interview with Anadolu, he said he advocated for a stronger stance, especially speaking out against influential nations like Israel and the US, despite potential pressure from lobby groups.
