A UN Human Rights Council-commissioned report accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, citing four of five criteria under the Genocide Convention. The report, authored by a team of independent experts, details Israel's actions, including a siege, targeting of civilians, and destruction of infrastructure. Israel vehemently rejects the report as false and antisemitic. While the UN cannot enforce action, the report could be used by international courts. The commission, whose members recently resigned, urges the international community to halt weapons transfers to Israel and hold those responsible accountable.
