President suggests Israel should be excluded from the UN
Irish President Michael Higgins called for excluding Israel and its arms suppliers from the UN after an independent report found Israel committing genocide in Gaza with nearly 65,000 Palestinian deaths.
- On Tuesday, Irish President Michael Higgins proposed excluding Israel and countries supplying arms to Israel from the United Nations, urging an end to trade with those 'inflicting this'.
- After a two-year investigation since Oct. 7, 2023, the UN Human Rights Council commission of inquiry concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
- Israeli army has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza, killing nearly 65,000 Palestinians since October 2023, with 90% of housing destroyed, according to the report.
- Higgins called on the international community to increase pressure, urging to 'stop this carnage'; the EU warned against intensifying Gaza operations, while Israel condemned the report and refused cooperation.
- The commission cannot prosecute, but its findings could be used by prosecutors at the International Criminal Court or International Court of Justice, and South Africa's ICJ case awaits those judicial findings.
