On Thursday, Human Rights Watch said Israel had killed thousands of Palestinians in Gaza by denying them clean water which it says legally amounts to acts of genocide and extermination. In a statement on X, Israel’s foreign ministry wrote: “The truth is the complete opposite of HRW’s lies.” In its response, Israel said it had ensured water infrastructure remained operational.
