UN Accuses Israel of Genocidal Acts in Gaza Amid Controversy

United Nations experts accused Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, including destroying women's healthcare and using sexual violence. Israel's Prime Minister dismissed the report as biased, claiming that the UN is ignoring crimes by Hamas. The report details systematic abuse and Israel rejects these accusations.

In a damning report released on Thursday, United Nations experts have accused Israel of committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza. The report claims Israel systematically destroyed women's healthcare facilities and used sexual violence as a tactical strategy during the Gaza conflict.

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected these findings, labeling them as biased and antisemitic. Netanyahu criticized the UN for overlooking alleged war crimes by the Hamas organization, while Israel disengaged from the Human Rights Council earlier this year.

The report further charges Israeli forces with forced public stripping and sexual assault, asserting these actions contributed to psychological and physical abuse of Palestinian detainees. Israel has firmly rejected these accusations, citing stringent IDF policies prohibiting such misconduct.
