U.N. investigators say Israel committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza; Israel rejects ‘distorted and false report’
A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded on Tuesday (September 16, 2025) that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had incited these acts. It cites examples of the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic to back up its genocide finding, adding its voice to rights groups and others that have reached the same conclusion. Reacting to the latest development, Israel categorically rejected the “distorted and false report” and called for “the immediate abolition of this Commission of Inquiry.” Meanwhile, the Israeli Ambassador rejected the findings as a “libelous rant.”
