UN commission says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

- The Commission found that Israeli forces committed four genocidal acts including killings, causing serious harm, deliberate destructive living conditions, and measures to prevent births, with intent to destroy Palestinians.
- Chair Navi Pillay declared that Israel bears responsibility for carrying out genocide in Gaza and cautioned that ignoring this ongoing campaign equates to being complicit.
