Israel accuses UN Independent Commission of "propaganda" over report on West Bank

Israel's Foreign Ministry criticized a UN commission report accusing the country of crimes against humanity in the occupied West Bank, labeling it as propaganda. The report claims Israel committed acts including extermination and torture, while also maintaining accusations of genocide in Gaza. The UN commission, tasked with investigating crimes in Palestinian territories, noted a significant increase in Israeli airstrikes in the West Bank since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The report highlights the Palestinian Authority's failure to effectively investigate attacks on journalists and human rights defenders.
