It stressed the conclusions of the report and the fact that Israel committed “genocidal acts” to be added to the list of unbearable violations and crimes that have been inflicted on the Palestinian people since the Nakba, while noting that the suffering inflicted on Palestinians was unacceptable and could not be tolerated and its perpetrators should be held accountable.
