UN investigation accuses Israel of crimes against humanity and genocide

A UN commission has accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity in the West Bank and acts of genocide in Gaza. Israel has dismissed these allegations as misinformation. The report highlights systematic attacks on civilians and claims that Israeli authorities intended to collectively punish the Palestinian population following Hamas's attack in October 2023. The commission's findings suggest a coordinated effort to target Palestinian civilians and suppress dissent within the Palestinian Authority. The situation has worsened significantly since the conflict escalated, with high civilian casualties reported on both sides.
