UN-Commissioned Experts Say Gaza Ceasefire Has Not Stopped Israel From Committing Genocide
The commission said Israeli forces kept committing genocidal acts in Gaza and war crimes in the West Bank, with 196 Palestinians killed during the ceasefire.
- On Monday, October 26, 2026, an independent UN-commissioned report concluded Israel continues committing genocide in Gaza and crimes against humanity in the West Bank, findings that could underpin international prosecutions.
- Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israeli forces expanded control over 60% of Gaza, killing at least 196 Palestinians, while military operations in the West Bank constitute a widespread, systematic attack against civilians.
- Investigators documented torture, rape, and sexual violence against detainees, including cases at Sde Teiman military prison, while airstrike deaths in the West Bank surged from six between 2008 and October 6, 2023, to 254 since October 7, 2023.
- The commission urged Israel to "end the commission of genocide in Gaza" and remove all settlements, noting findings could provide evidence for International Criminal Court prosecutors to bolster accountability.
- Rejecting the findings, Israel's mission in Geneva dismissed the report as a "misinformation campaign to demonise" the country and called for the commission's immediate dissolution ahead of Israel's upcoming general election.
