Read the full assessment

An independent UN Commission of Inquiry has formally alleged Israel committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank, including torture and sexual violence, and that genocidal acts continue in Gaza despite a ceasefire. These claims, released on the eve of Israeli elections, are largely unverified by independent sources but represent a significant escalation in international condemnation and legal pressure against Israel.
