A UN commission stated that Israel continued to commit genocide in Gaza after a US-brokered ceasefire, according to a report released on Monday. The commission examined violations against Palestinian children from October 7, 2023, to September 2026. Israel's mission in Geneva dismissed the report as a misinformation campaign aimed at undermining the state's legitimacy.
The report found that Israeli forces continued to use heavy munitions in densely populated areas during the ceasefire and that a demarcation line, the 'Yellow Line,' was encroaching into Gaza, reflecting expanding Israeli territorial control. The commission also noted a sharp deterioration in the West Bank, with a significant increase in Palestinian deaths from airstrikes and the largest displacement since 1967. The commission also faulted the Palestinian Authority for targeting dissenting voices and harming journalists and human rights defenders.
