Earlier this month, a UN human rights commission concluded that Israel\u2019s campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide, reinforcing international pressure after South Africa\u2019s case at the ICJ and ongoing ICC investigations.<\/p>\n<p>President Yamand\u00fa Orsi has criticized Israeli military actions at the UN but has not indicated any intention to cut relations. The government has so far remained silent on the petition.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this appeal stand out is the identity of its authors: Jews in Uruguay explicitly rejecting Israeli policy in the name of Jewish values. They argue that supporting Palestinians\u2019 right to life is consistent with remembering historic persecution.<\/p>\n<p>Whether their demand translates into policy change remains uncertain, but the petition adds Uruguay\u2019s Jewish dissenters to a growing international chorus calling for governments to hold Israel accountable.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/518401\/Uruguayan-Jews-call-on-government-to-cut-ties-with-Israel-over\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of Jewish citizens in Uruguay has urged the government to immediately sever diplomatic, commercial, and military relations with Israel, accusing it of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
