An independent UN inquiry on Tuesday accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, the same day that Tel Aviv launched the first phase of a ground assault on Gaza City, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of stranded Gazans. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory issued the most damning report of Israel’s post-Oct. 7 onslaught yet, concluding that the Israeli government and forces had committed “four of the five genocidal acts” defined in the 1948 Genocide Convention.

A new report accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, in "the strongest and most authoritative UN finding to date".
