Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UN Commission Finds Israeli Officials Incited Genocide in Gaza
Caption: UN Commission Finds Israeli Officials Incited Genocide in Gaza. A UN Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, citing top officials including PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The report highlights killings, aid blockages, forced displacement, and destruction of a fertility clinic as evidence. Navi Pillay, head of the commission and former ICC judge, said Israel orchestrated a “genocidal campaign” against Palestinians. Israel has refused to cooperate with the inquiry, calling it politically biased. The 72-page report is the strongest UN-linked finding yet, though the UN has not officially labeled the events as genocide. Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, arguing its actions are self-defense after the October 2023 Hamas attack. Over 64,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the conflict began, with parts of the territory facing famine conditions. The commission found Israel committed four of five acts constituting genocide under the 1948 UN Convention. Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant were cited for statements showing genocidal intent. Pillay compared the Gaza situation to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, noting dehumanization of victims as a common factor.
