The international organization states that the Israeli government "has committed systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, including indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure".
According to IAGS, Israel's policy and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in the UN Genocide Convention.
The Swedish government has so far not used the word "genocide" to describe what is happening in Gaza. Malmer Stenergard (M) says on Monday that the concept of "genocide is a legal term with a clearly defined content".
"Therefore, Swedish governments have had the principle of not legally categorizing events as genocide unless an international court or tribunal has first tried the issue", she writes in a comment to TT.
Malmer Stenergard says that the government has an obligation to prevent and prevent genocide, that Sweden is the EU's second largest donor of humanitarian aid to Gaza and that the government is putting pressure on Israel to allow humanitarian aid to be let in.
UN-backed IPC, which monitors food availability in the world, recently found that fully developed famine prevails in Gaza City and surrounding areas – after months of Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
