UN Report Condemns Israel for Crimes Against Humanity in Gaza

A recent UN investigation has shed light on the atrocities committed by Israel during its war on Gaza, labeling them as crimes against humanity, including acts of “extermination”. The report also highlights war crimes committed by both Israeli and Palestinian armed groups during the conflict that began in October.

The Commission of Inquiry’s findings point to a systematic attack on the civilian population in Gaza, with acts of murder, gender persecution, torture, and forcible transfer being documented. Israel has vehemently denied these accusations, attributing them to biased anti-Israel sentiments within the UN commission.

A total of 1,194 casualties were reported in a Hamas-led attack on October 7, resulting in numerous captives and ongoing hostilities. The commission urges accountability for all parties involved and emphasizes the need for immediate cessation of military operations in Gaza.

The report also criticizes Israel for its actions in the West Bank, accusing Israeli forces of committing war crimes that include acts of sexual violence and torture. The findings are set to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council, signaling a call for justice and accountability in the region.
