Which, assuming the allegations that Israel refuses to provide any evidence for and the US considers to be of "low confidence" are true, would be 12 out of over 10.000 people.

In the meantime there is at least 4 members of the Israeli 33 ministers+one president government that have been explciitly called out by the ICJ for statements that can be understood to incite genocide or be an indication of the intention of commiting genocide. And these are the president, the prime minister, the minister of defense and the minister of energy and infrastrucutre. Those are highly relevant people, not some obscure smaller ministers

So we have 0,12 % rate of suspects at UNRWA based on allegations without any evidence provided, vs. a 12% rate of Israeli government leaders called out by the highest court of the world for statements that are indicative of genocidal incitement or intent.
