Robinson Calls Gaza Situation 'Genocide,' Demands Sanctions Against Israel

Former President Mary Robinson labels the Gaza situation 'genocide,' calling for immediate sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel. In a recent interview, Robinson, a highly respected international figure, expressed her belief that the ongoing violence in Gaza constitutes genocide. She stated, "This is deliberate. Babies are dying. It's unbelievable." While acknowledging that the ultimate determination rests with the courts, Robinson stressed the overwhelming evidence of atrocities. Her comments come amidst a growing international debate on the conflict. Robinson also criticized The Elders, a group she's a part of, for their relatively slow response, urging stronger action from world governments. She specifically called for sanctions against Israel and an immediate cessation of arms sales. Robinson's powerful statement highlights the increasing concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and underscores the urgent need for global intervention.
