UN commission says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

  • On September 16, 2025, a UN Human Rights Council-appointed independent commission reported that since October 7, 2023, Israeli authorities have perpetrated acts amounting to genocide against Palestinians residing in Gaza.
  • This conclusion followed an extensive investigation of Israeli military operations and official statements, despite Israel's repeated rejections and accusations of bias against the Commission.
  • 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.
  • The Commission recommended an immediate ceasefire, unhindered UN access, and urged States to prevent genocide by stopping arms transfers to Israel and holding it accountable under international law.
