In a shocking development, mass graves containing hundreds of bodies have been unearthed in two Gaza hospitals, triggering widespread outrage and demands for accountability. Palestinian authorities have revealed that the graves were discovered after Israeli forces withdrew from the Nasser and al-Shifa medical compounds, which they had besieged for weeks.
The Palestinian Civil Defence has presented evidence suggesting that the Israeli army may have committed crimes against humanity, including summary executions. These allegations have been vehemently denied by Israeli officials, who claim that the claims of Israeli forces burying the bodies are unfounded.
The international community has swiftly responded to the distressing revelations. The United Nations and the European Union have called for urgent and independent investigations into the matter. The United States has also expressed its desire for answers, emphasizing the need for accountability.

Mohammed Jamjoom will be hosting the discussion, joined by Mansour Shouman, a Gaza citizen journalist who sought refuge at Nasser Hospital, Andreas Kleiser, the Director for Policy and Cooperation at the International Commission on Missing Persons, and Kenneth Roth, a visiting professor at Princeton School for Public and International Affairs.
