Hamas has said that a report by Amnesty International accusing Israel of “genocide” in the Palestinian territory was a call for world action, AFP reports.

The report is “a new message to the international community … on the need to act to bring an end to this genocide that has lasted for more than 400 days” the group said in a statement.
