UN Commission Alleges Genocide in Gaza Conflict Report

A United Nations commission investigating the conflict in Gaza has concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, marking the panel’s most comprehensive finding regarding Israel’s conduct. This follows earlier reports by the same commission that determined Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in its engagement with Hamas militants.

The commission’s work has focused on the war in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led assault on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people. Concurrently, the commission also identified war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by armed Palestinian groups, including sexual violence during the October 7 attack on Israel.

Amidst Israel’s reported ground invasion in Gaza City, the report emerged as Israel asserts that Hamas fighters utilize hospitals for military purposes. The findings align with a previous decision by an international court last year, which allowed a genocide case against Israel to proceed and directed the Israeli government to take measures to prevent genocidal acts by its forces in Gaza.

The report specifies that it does not preclude future investigations into whether genocide has been committed by Israel in the West Bank or by Hamas in connection with its October 7 attack.
