UN Commission of Inquiry Rules Israel Committed Genocide in Gaza

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry has determined that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. The commission cited four acts under the 1948 Genocide Convention: mass killings, serious harm, life conditions aimed at destruction, and measures preventing births. The report implicates high-ranking officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that their statements serve as "direct evidence of genocidal intent."

Israel has rejected the commission"s findings, labeling them as "distorted and false," and has called for the commission"s dissolution. This conclusion follows nearly two years of conflict, during which over 64,000 Palestinian deaths have been reported. UN Chair Navi Pillay stated, "Genocide is occurring in Gaza."

This report emerges amid ongoing tensions and violence in the region, as previously reported. The situation continues to evolve, with various international responses and developments related to the conflict.
