Trump accused of ‘genocidal rhetoric’ after telling Gazans ‘you are dead’ if Hamas fails to release hostages

Kristyan Benedict, Amnesty International UK's crisis response manager, told The Independent: “Donald Trump's sinister threat to the people of Gaza mirrors the genocidal rhetoric of Israeli military and political leaders who have made no distinction between civilians and armed groups in Gaza.

“The people of Gaza are overwhelmingly civilian – they're children, women, men, older people and people with disabilities. Holding them collectively responsible for war crimes by Palestinian armed groups is the same logic that Israeli forces have employed with devastating consequences.

“The UK has a legal obligation to help prevent genocide and should be condemning collective punishment and genocidal rhetoric.”

Mr Benedict said the UK must make this clear ahead of the US president’s state visit to Britain.
