UN-Commissioned Experts Say Gaza Ceasefire Has Not Stopped Israel From Committing Genocide
The commission said Israeli forces continued genocidal acts in Gaza and war crimes in the West Bank, citing at least 196 deaths since the ceasefire.
- On Monday, a UN commission report alleged Israel is "continuing to commit genocidal acts" with intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza. Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israeli forces expanded territorial control from 53% to at least 60%.
- Israeli fire across the advancing front has killed at least 196 Palestinians, including 18 women, 32 boys, and 11 girls, since the ceasefire began. This expansion deeper into Gaza drove much of the documented harm.
- The commission also accused Israeli security forces of war crimes, including torture and rape, in Gaza and the West Bank. Investigators documented six cases of sexual violence at the Sde Teiman military prison, alleging guards used sticks and forced urination.
- These detailed findings aim to support accountability for perpetrators, potentially aiding prosecutors at the International Criminal Court. Israel denies both the genocide and sexual assault allegations, and did not immediately respond to the report's publication.
- The ceasefire scaled down a war initiated by Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israel's subsequent military campaign has killed over 74,000 Palestinians throughout the conflict.
