Nuclear Bomb Comparison, Not Genocide: Jared Kushner's Take on Gaza
Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Trump, described Gaza as resembling an area hit by a nuclear bomb after his visit, but stopped short of labeling it genocide.
The destruction of the Gaza Strip and continuous bombing since October 7, 2023, has been termed genocide by the UN and genocide experts. A report by 35 UN legal experts found sufficient grounds to conclude that "Israel has committed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza."
- The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) passed a resolution in September 2025, declaring Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.
- Amnesty International has also reached a similar conclusion.
- South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of committing genocide.
Israel has committed Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
