Jun 19, 2024, 02:25 PM

A new report by the UN Human Rights Council has concluded that Israeli authorities are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The report highlights severe allegations including extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war, and the forcible transfer of thousands of innocent Palestinians. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry by the UN also implicates Palestinian armed groups in war crimes. The report underscores the need for international law enforcement to prevent further escalation of the conflict. The UN commission's findings are based on events since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
