The U.N.-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry has accused Israel of committing the crime of extermination in the West Bank, while continuing to engage in genocide in the Gaza Strip, according to a report from The Korea Times.

Despite Israel's rejection of the genocide findings in Gaza following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, the commission's report paints a grim picture of ongoing human rights abuses in the occupied territory.
