Palestinian UN Envoy Accuses Israel of 'Genocidal' Campaign Against Gaza Amid Deadly Conflict: The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations condemned Israel's bombardment of Gaza and imposition of a complete siege on the Hamas-controlled enclave as 'genocidal.'

The Palestinian envoy described these acts as war crimes, emphasizing the use of starvation as a method of warfare. U.S. national security adviser expressed concerns, and the UN Secretary-General decried the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
