A UN Human Rights Council panel concluded that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The report, released Tuesday, details acts of violence and policies intended to destroy the Palestinian population. It cites evidence of genocidal intent from Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu. Israel's Foreign Minister dismissed the report as based on Hamas falsehoods. The report calls for an immediate end to the violence, a ceasefire, and for other UN member states to prevent further atrocities.
