UN Report Accuses Israel of War Crimes in Gaza

A UN commission has accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity through systematic attacks on Gaza's healthcare system, which includes deliberate strikes on medical facilities and personnel, leading to significant casualties among civilians, particularly children. Commission Chair Navi Pillay emphasized that these actions amount to war crimes and constitute a broader policy of extermination against the Palestinian population. The report also highlights the severe treatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, where reports of torture and sexual violence have emerged. In response, Israel's ambassador dismissed the allegations as baseless and claimed they were detached from reality, while maintaining that attacks on hospitals are justified due to Hamas's military activities. The situation has drawn international condemnation, with calls for immediate action to protect healthcare rights in conflict zones. The UN inquiry is set to present its findings to the General Assembly on October 30, amid ongoing tensions and accusations of bias against the UN by Israeli officials.
