Elizabeth Warren's View on Israel's Actions in Gaza and Potential Genocide Ruling by International Courts

Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed her belief last week that international courts could potentially view Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide. This statement came after she mentioned that she thinks "what Israel is doing is wrong." Warren made these comments during a discussion at the Islamic Center of Boston, in response to a question from an audience member about whether she believes "Israel is committing a genocide." She added that if international courts were to analyze the situation based on law, they would likely find it to be genocide, as there is substantial evidence to support this view.

Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, believes it is essential to speak out against Israel's actions, which she views as wrong. She condemns the practice of using starvation as a tool to control civilian populations and the use of heavy bombs in densely populated areas. Instead of focusing on labels, Warren prefers to address specific behaviors and whether they are right or wrong.

According to a spokesperson for Warren who spoke to Politico, her comments were directed towards the legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice, rather than expressing an opinion on the issue of genocide in Gaza.

Warren's office has been contacted by CNN for a comment.

The International Court of Justice ruled in January in support of six emergency measures. Israel was instructed to do everything possible to stop actions that could violate the 1948 Genocide Convention. The military was also told to avoid committing genocidal acts in Gaza.

Warren has voiced his disapproval of the Biden administration's approach towards Israel, urging for a ceasefire and emphasizing the need for conditions on future aid to the US ally.

Following the tragic deaths of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in an Israeli attack, Warren took to social media to express his concern. He stated, "Aid workers embody the best of humanity and must be safeguarded. @WCKitchen is working tirelessly to provide food for the starving in Gaza. Netanyahu's government must halt the indiscriminate bombings. We must push for an immediate ceasefire and ramp up humanitarian assistance."
