An earlier version of the report, written by Francesca Albanese, entitled “Gaza Genocide: Collective Crime”, was released on Wednesday.
She argued that the continued destruction of coastal Palestinian lives was made possible by military, economic, diplomatic, and even so-called humanitarian channels provided by a state that has consistently prioritized political and strategic interests over human rights.
On the diplomatic front, she pointed out that Western countries, especially the United States and the European Union, have consistently shielded the Israeli regime from liability.
The official said U.N. Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire have been vetoed or weakened, while the regime’s military brutality has been framed as “legitimate self-defense.”
The Albanians added that military aid also played a decisive role in sustaining the genocide.
The U.S. provides the administration $3.3 billion a year, along with intelligence, weapons and logistics support, she wrote. However, after the genocide began in October 2023, the “aid” was stepped up with hundreds of shipments of ammunition, weapons and military assets.
Albanians say Germany, Britain, India, Italy, France, Spain and others provided further weapons and dual-use technology, directly stimulating military attacks on Gaza.
She lamented that these transfers violate the Arms Trade Treaty, given the regime’s continued occupation and violence against civilians.
Economic and trade networks have enabled the regime as well, experts outlined, noting that at least 45 active trade and cooperation agreements, including agreements with the US, EU and UAE, have given Tel Aviv access to dual-use and military equipment.
European research programs also funnel billions of dollars to Israeli institutions, often funding technologies that lead directly to military applications, the report outlined.
Despite the ongoing genocide, trade with the regime increased in 2024, with Arab countries such as Germany (up $836 million), Poland (up $237 million), Greece (up $186 million), and even the UAE (up $237 million) and Egypt (up $199 million) fueling the regime’s aggression.
Albanians charged that humanitarian aid was also being weaponized.
The tightened blockade of Gaza from October 2023 left 80 percent of the Strip’s more than 2 billion people dependent on aid, but by early 2025 access was limited to just over 100 trucks daily.
She also reminded that the regime and the United States established the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a military aid mechanism that led to the deaths of more than 2,000 civilians in distribution centers between March and July 2025.
Mr Albanese said symbolic actions by Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Jordan and the UK did little to alleviate hunger and were in effect contributing to a worsening humanitarian crisis.
“The legal obligation is clear,” she wrote. “States must prevent further harm, halt aid delivery, prosecute perpetrators, and ensure reparations and reconstruction. Without this, international law will be empty and Palestinians will suffer.”
The massacre claimed the lives of more than 68,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
An agreement was reached between Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement and the regime earlier this month as part of President Donald Trump’s proposal, which the US president says is aimed at ending the genocide.
But since then, Israeli forces have repeatedly violated the agreement, resulting in continued loss of life, while only 15% of aid trucks that agreed to enter the territory have reached starving Palestinians.
Albanese said the proposal “clearly omits any requirements for ending the occupation or establishing accountability.”
“Instead, it will impose a temporary external governance structure on Gaza, an arrangement that amounts to neo-colonial governance that further undermines Palestinian self-determination.”
