The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory concluded that Israel continued to commit genocide in Gaza and the West Bank since the October 2023 war against Hamas. The report, published on Monday, detailed ongoing violations against Palestinian civilians, including children, in both territories.
Israeli authorities are accused of carrying out "genocidal acts with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in Gaza," according to the commission. The situation in the West Bank also worsened, with Israeli military operations and settler violence leading to a significant increase in civilian deaths. The commission found that Palestinian authorities targeted dissenters, while journalists and human rights defenders faced persecution.
The Israeli mission in Geneva dismissed the report as a misinformation campaign aimed at demonizing Israel and denying its right to exist and defend itself.
