UN Commission: Israel committed crimes against humanity in the West Bank

A UN commission reported that Israeli authorities committed crimes against humanity in the occupied West Bank, including torture and sexual violence. The Israeli ambassador rejected the findings, calling them an attempt to destroy the Jewish state. The commission documented severe abuses in military detention, including sexual assault and torture of Palestinian detainees. Following the October 7 Hamas attacks, violence escalated significantly, with a sharp increase in Palestinian casualties from Israeli airstrikes. The commission accused Israel of ongoing genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza, with findings potentially usable by the ICC.
