UN Report Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, directly implicating high-ranking officials such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The report cites widespread killings, aid blockages, forced displacement, and destruction to support its conclusion.

Israel's representative to the U.N. in Geneva labeled the findings, authored by what he deemed "Hamas proxies," as "scandalous" and "fake." Israel has refused to cooperate with the commission, citing a biased agenda and defending its actions as a response to Hamas's deadly 2023 attack.

The commission presented its findings based on substantial evidence, urging the U.N. to formally recognize Israel's actions as genocide. Despite the U.N.'s hesitance, international legal proceedings are underway. The alleged genocidal acts include killings and measures impeding Palestinian births.
