The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has called for United States President Donald Trump to face criminal prosecution for complicity in genocide for his support of the GHF aid distribution mechanism in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, the Geneva-based organisation urged international bodies to hold Trump accountable for supporting the GHF in Gaza, which operates sites where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since they began operating at the end of May.

The monitoring group said testimony from the field indicated the involvement of private US security contractors and Israeli soldiers in the attacks on aid seekers.

It said Trump’s administration had also provided “an umbrella of comprehensive military, financial, political, and diplomatic support” for Israel’s war on Gaza.
