This claim comes from this reporting published by Reuters. The report notes that 86% of voting members from the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars supported a resolution declaring that Israel's "policies and actions in Gaza" meet the legal definition set out in Article II of the 1948 UN Convention on Genocide.

The Association's own resolution states

"The government of Israel has engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, including indiscriminate and deliberate attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure (hospitals, homes, commercial buildings, etc.) in Gaza, which, according to official UN estimates at the date of this resolution [8/31/2025], has killed more than 59,000 adults and children in Gaza."
