  "summary": "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. The commission's findings, which come on the eve of Israel's general election, detail a widespread and systematic attack against civilians in the West Bank through military operations and settler violence. Israeli authorities and forces have been found guilty of crimes against humanity, including extermination, torture, and rape, among other forms of sexual violence. 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.",
