Israel continued to commit genocide in Gaza after last October’s US-brokered ceasefire in the enclave, a UN commission said in a report published on Monday that Israel dismissed as part of a “misinformation campaign.”
The report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel examined violations against Palestinian civilians, including children, since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 up to September this year.
It said Israeli authorities had kept committing “genocidal acts with the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in Gaza,” and that the situation had also continued to deteriorate in the occupied West Bank.
Another report by the commission in September last year found that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu incited these acts — accusations that Israel called scandalous.
The Israeli mission in Geneva said the latest report was part of a misinformation campaign to demonize the State of Israel.
“The attempt to destroy the Jewish state … continues today through efforts by actors such as the UN Commission of Inquiry to undermine Israel’s legitimacy and deny its fundamental right to exist and defend itself,” Ambassador Daniel Meron said in a statement.
Heavy munitions hit populated areas
The commission found that Israeli forces continued using heavy munitions, drones, quadcopters, artillery and sniper fire in densely populated areas during the ceasefire in Gaza.
It said the “Yellow Line” which was presented as a temporary ceasefire demarcation, was encroaching increasingly into Gaza, and becoming a de facto border, which the report said reflected Israel’s expanding territorial control of Gaza.

Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza, launched after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
In its report to the UN General Assembly, the commission said the situation in the West Bank had also deteriorated sharply, with the number of Palestinians killed in airstrikes increasing from six between 2008 and Oct. 6, 2023, to 254 between Oct. 7, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2026.
Commission Chair Srinivasan Muralidhar said the intentional killing of Palestinian civilians and destruction of homes in the West Bank formed part of a broader strategy to exterminate and displace Palestinians.
Military operations since January 2025 have led to the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank since 1967, with 34,176 Palestinians remaining displaced as of August 2026, the report said.
The commission also faulted the Palestinian Authority, saying it had targeted Palestinians who voice dissenting views and that journalists and human rights defenders had been killed and injured.

Tiny Israel easily DESTROYED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE ITS ENEMIES!
Shocking that a “news” organization would uncritically publish such an obvious hit piece. Not the first time, either. Is this what govt subsidies accomplish?
No one pays any attention to the U.N. It has been biased against Israel for decades now.I agree with Dave that Gaza has no redeeming quality.
Should have wiped Gaza off the planet

I’m a bit confused how fighting in a war is genocide? During the battle of Berlin, over 100,000 civilians were killed by allied forces. This was not considered genocide. After 3 years of war in Gaza, 74,000 people have been killed, including combatants.
I know people aren’t numbers, but these ones just don’t add up to the accusations
O f8ck off. Maybe you sick bastards need to learn to add! Stupid jew loving murderers.
Did the UN also find that the Gazans haven’t stopped committing genocide in decades? They’ve been trying to destroy Israel my entire life.
Netanyahu is a HERO!

And how many rockets have been launched into Israel lately?
The leftist world has deemed Jews to be rocket bait. Why can they just not except this lot in life. Tsk, tsk.
If Israel was wanting genocide would be done. Instead of bombing schools and hospitals they know had weapons and terrorists beneath put their own people in danger to stop those who teach school kids to chant death to Israelis and celebrate Oct 7th as a religious mandated favorable action. The bias of UN body is sickening.
Food, shelter, medicine provided by Israel; thousands of Palestinians remaining; worst genocide ever.
Vern: do study your history before posting. The war in Russia and Ukraine started when Zelenskyy refused to negotiate the return of Russian lands and peoples to Russia. The present war on Iran was started by the US, in support of Israel, with attacks by Israel.
I notice that the media is still harping on Oct 7 as the start. It began way before that. How long has the West Bank of Palestine been occupied?
Ben, the UN is not a neutral third party. Is there anything that comes out of your insufferable brain that is accurate or are you just a full time lying pos?
So where is the UN’s condemnation of Russia, Iran…
Nothing but crickets.
Having a neutral third party like the UN in addition to the many experts basically say Israel went too far is just repeating facts.
The UN is filled with terrorist supporters and halfwits. I really don’t give a sh1t what they say.
