UN Report: Israel Guilty of Genocide in Gaza

A UN commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza, marking the most authoritative statement on the issue to date. The 72-page report details four acts prohibited under the 1948 Genocide Convention, finding that Israeli leaders intended to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a group. This is the first comprehensive legal probe by a UN body, holding significant weight in the ongoing International Court of Justice (ICJ) case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide. The report urges UN member states to take action, including halting arms transfers to Israel and imposing sanctions on those involved in or facilitating genocide.
