A United Nations inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, according to a report released Tuesday. The independent commission, created by the UN's Human Rights Council, cited actions and intent that meet four of the five criteria outlined in the Genocide Convention. Commission chair Navi Pillay stated there is clear intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza. The report found Israeli authorities at the highest levels, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Herzog, and former Defense Minister Gallant, incited genocide. These findings come amid a protracted war in Gaza and follow repeated accusations of human rights abuses by the commission. Israel has vehemently rejected the report, calling it "distorted and false" and accusing the commission of bias. The commission urges the international community to end the alleged genocide and calls for an end to weapons transfers to Israel and blocking actions that could contribute to genocide. While the commission itself cannot take enforcement action, its findings could be used by international courts, including the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, which is currently hearing a separate genocide case against Israel filed by South Africa.
