UN names 63 countries complicit in Gaza genocide

GENEVA (MNTV) – A United Nations report has accused 63 countries of enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese said the genocide was a “collective crime” sustained by these states’ military, diplomatic, economic, and ideological support.

The report identifies four sectors of support provided by Third States to the illegal Israeli occupation and its actions escalating into genocide: diplomatic, military, economic, and “humanitarian”.

I. Diplomatic and Political Support

Third States provided diplomatic cover and political narratives that facilitated and justified Israel’s actions, including blocking calls for a permanent ceasefire and undermining international accountability mechanisms.

United States:
Used its veto power seven times in the UN Security Council, providing diplomatic cover for the Israeli actions and controlling ceasefire negotiations.

Leaders ‘parroted’ Israeli narratives, repeating unsubstantiated claims and blurring the distinction between combatants and civilians.

Advocated for “humanitarian corridors,” “pauses,” and “truces” instead of a permanent ceasefire, ensuring the continuation of the violence.

Imposed sanctions to paralyze the International Criminal Court (ICC).

United Kingdom (UK):
UK opposition Leader Keir Starmer defended Israel’s right to cut off water and power to civilians.

Maintained alignment with the US position until November 2024.

Threatened the funding of the ICC.

Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, and other Western States:

Leaders ‘parroted’ Israeli narratives, repeating debunked claims and blurring the distinction between combatants and civilians.

A bloc of these states introduced the term “sustained ceasefire,” leading to a diluted UNSC resolution that delayed action.

Criticized the planned invasion of Rafah while simultaneously withdrawing UNRWA funding.

Sanctioned some extremist settlers and organizations, which the report argues effectively condones the Israeli state system as a whole.

Persistently denied genocide.

Arab and Muslim States:

Normalization through the Abraham Accords shifted economic incentives.

Influential States in the region reportedly facilitated land routes to Israel, bypassing the Red Sea.

Qatar hosts the largest US military base in the region.

Egypt maintained significant security and economic relations with Israel, including energy cooperation and closing the Rafah crossing.

Hungary:

The Prime Minister traveled freely across European airspace, despite ICC arrest warrants, and the country withdrew from the Court in April 2025.

II. Military Support and Arms Transfers

States continued to supply military support, arms transfers, and dual-use components to Israel, enabling its military domination and genocidal destruction in Gaza, despite overwhelming evidence of international crimes.

United States (Largest Supplier):

Financially and militarily supported Israel since its creation and is the leading recipient of US Foreign Military Financing (FMF).

Guarantees $3.3 billion/year in FMF plus $500 million/year for missile defence until 2028.

Accounts for two-thirds of annual Israeli arms imports.

Escalated support after October 7, 2023, with senior politicians and military officials engaging in unprecedented travel to Israel for operational discussions.

Congress passed a $26.4 billion package for Israeli defense in April 2024.

Transferred 742 consignments of “arms and ammunition” (HS Code 93) since October 2023 and approved tens of billions in new sales.

Reduced transparency, accelerated transfers through emergency approvals, and facilitated Israeli access to the US weapons stockpile held abroad.

Deployed military aircraft, special forces, and surveillance drones to Israel, with US surveillance purportedly used in the first raid on Al Shifa hospital.

Supplied tens of thousands of artillery shells, cannon ammunition, rifles, anti-tank missiles, and bombs by September 2024.

Second-largest arms exporter to Israel during the genocide, with supplies ranging from frigates to torpedoes.

Argued it complies with legal obligations to cease exports while continuing existing agreements and adopting a hands-off approach to transit.

Participated in the INIOCHOS exercise in 2025.

States whose citizens have served in the Israeli military since October 2023:

United States, Russia, France, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

III. Economic and Trade Relations

Maintaining normal trade relations and economic cooperation, including in dual-use products, has legitimized and sustained Israel’s economy and military-civilian symbiosis, which profits from the illegal occupation and genocide.

European Union (Largest Trade Partner):

Provided almost a third of Israel’s total trade for the last two years.

Israeli merchandise imports from the EU included 31 percent in dual-use goods in 2024.

The European Commission Research and Innovation Framework (Horizon Europe) provided €2.1 billion in grants to Israeli entities since 2014, many developing dual-use and military technologies.

The European Investment Bank has financed Israeli entities with €2.7 billion since 1981, including a loan to Bank Leumi (listed on the OHCHR Database).

A 2024 internal paper showed the EU was determined to preserve business-as-usual despite Israeli violations of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Continued to import gas from Israel through the Eastern Mediterranean Gas pipeline, which illegally passes through the sea adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

Türkiye:

Announced the suspension of all trade with Israel in May 2024, resulting in a 64 percent reduction in Turkish-origin imports and near-total cessation of exports in January-August 2025.

Some trade has reportedly continued indirectly.

Continued to provide key ports for products, including oil and gas.

Countries that increased their trade with Israel between January-August 2023 and 2025 (in terms of US$ value):
Germany (+US$836 million), United Arab Emirates (+US$237 million), Poland (+US$237 million), Egypt (+US$199 million), Greece (+US$186 million), Italy (+US$117 million), Denmark (+US$99 million), France (+US$75 million), Serbia (+US$56 million), Jordan (+US$41 million), and Morocco (+US$6 million).

Russia and the United States (major suppliers of refined fuel products).

Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and South Africa (continued to supply essential raw materials).

Energy Partners:

Morocco, Italy, France, Türkiye (continued to provide key ports for products, including oil and gas).

Egypt (continued to import gas from Israel and expanded its partnership with a US$35 billion natural gas deal in August 2025).

Countries whose ports/airfields facilitated trans-shipment/transfers to Israel:

Türkiye, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Morocco, and the US (ports).

Ireland, Belgium, and the United States (airfields).

IV. Complicity in Weaponization of Aid (“Humanitarian” Support)
Third States uncritically suspended funding to UNRWA based on unsubstantiated Israeli allegations, aiding the destruction of the humanitarian system and contributing to the catastrophic living conditions imposed on the occupied population.

18 States suspended UNRWA funding (including major donors like the US):

Suspended funding immediately after Israel’s unsubstantiated allegation that UNRWA staff were involved in the events of October 7.

Most donors took months to resume contributions.

The United States, the largest donor, passed a law to prohibit US funding.

States that parachuted aid into Gaza:

Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.

The report describes this as an “expensive, inadequate and dangerous response” that served to “mislead international public opinion while the famine worsened”.
