Israeli onslaught on Gaza amounts to ‘genocide', Iraq's prime minister says

Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammed Shia al-Sudani on Wednesday said Israel’s ongoing onslaught on the Gaza Strip is tantamount to 'genocide.'

The Iraqi premier met in Baghdad with Uzra Zeya, US undersecretary of state for civilian security, democracy, and human rights.

“What is happening in Gaza is unprecedented. It is a blatant violation of human rights, and amounts to genocide,” al-Sudani said during the meeting as cited by a statement issued by his office.
