Irish President Michael Higgins has called on the United Nations to expel Israel, along with any countries supplying the genocidal occupation with weapons.

Michael Higgins: Ireland wants to expel Israel from the UN

Higgins’s call followed a UN Human Rights Council report by a commission of experts who concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Any one of the five measures of genocidal conduct under the 1948 Genocide Convention is enough to find a country guilty of genocide. Israel meets at least four, including incitement by senior officials to commit genocide.

Among the officials named by the report as inciting genocide is Israeli president Isaac Herzog, whom Keir Starmer welcomed to the UK last week. Downing Street refused yesterday to express any regret for hosting a known war criminal.
