West Jerusalem has rejected the accusation, slamming the body as a “Hamas proxy” and calling for its abolition.
Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a UN commission of inquiry said in a report published on Tuesday.
According to the findings, Israel has committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention since the start of its war with Hamas in 2023. These include killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life aimed at destroying Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures to prevent births.
“The commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza,” Navi Pillay, chair of the UN body, said at a press conference in Geneva. “It is clear that there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”
Pillay blamed “Israeli authorities at the highest echelons” for “these atrocity crimes,” saying they “have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza.” She added that Israeli authorities have also failed to prevent or punish those responsible by not investigating or prosecuting the perpetrators of genocidal acts.
The commission said it had analyzed Israeli actions in Gaza, including “imposing starvation and inhumane conditions of life for Palestinians,” concluding that “genocidal intent was the only reasonable inference.” It also cited the “systematic destruction” of healthcare and education, along with “systematic” sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians.
The commission urged Israel to “end the genocide in Gaza” and called on UN member states to halt arms transfers and prosecute individuals or companies complicit in genocide.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry has rejected the commission’s report as “fake,” accusing its authors of being “Hamas proxies” and calling for the “immediate abolition” of the panel.
“The report relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others,” the ministry claimed. “Israel categorically rejects this distorted and false report and calls for the immediate abolition of this commission of inquiry.”
The conflict has continued since October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants launched a surprise assault on southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 250 captive. The Palestinian death toll has risen to 64,905 as of Monday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
On Tuesday, Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza City – one of the few areas still outside IDF control – after weeks of intensified strikes on alleged Hamas targets. The move followed the Israeli Security Cabinet’s approval of plans to seize the city last month.
The Palestinian death toll has risen to 64,905? BS. The latest estimate is over 680,000 killed [genocided] and this will be conservative. That’s well over one third of the original Gaza population. Then there’s what the Zio-Nazis are doing to the Palestinians in the West Bank.
DTNZ, thank you for writing “West Jerusalem”, stolen with the rest of what’s called Israel from the Semites in 1947.
So halt arms transfers. Are you listening UK, France, Canada, USA and others, plus shipping companies who transport the instruments of death?
…plus the thieves in the beehive who ‘support’ that genocidal massaker with millions of NZ tax payer money but do not condemn the murders?
Francescą Albanese drops the Gaza genocided Palestinian numbers to date, of which 380,000 are infants under 5.

Finally. Now what?
Just because someone’s name is Jesus it doesn’t make them the Messiah
The UN makes a lot of noise
With very little action
Because it is a proxy arm of the US funded and controlled with paid of predominantly non white countries vassal states called nations
NZ needs to get out of the UN nations yesterday
The merchant of death
UNinvolved in peace
The UNi is there to let governments off the hook by making them look like they mirror peoples outrage whilst in truth doing the complete opposite.
