West Jerusalem has rejected the accusation, slamming the body as a "Hamas proxy" and calling for its abolition

Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a UN commission of inquiry said in a report published on Tuesday.

According to the findings, Israel has committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention since the start of its war with Hamas in 2023. These include killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life aimed at destroying Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures to prevent births.

"The commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza," Navi Pillay, chair of the UN body, said at a press conference in Geneva. "It is clear that there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention."

Pillay blamed "Israeli authorities at the highest echelons" for "these atrocity crimes," saying they "have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza." He added that Israeli authorities have also failed to prevent or punish those responsible by not investigating or prosecuting the perpetrators of genocidal acts.
