UN Inquiry Reports Israel Pursuing Permanent Control, Genocide in Gaza West Bank

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned nations recognizing Palestinian statehood and reiterated Israel's refusal to allow a Palestinian state, amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza aimed at eliminating Hamas. Israeli forces have advanced into Gaza City, striking numerous targets and causing significant civilian casualties and humanitarian crises, while U.S. President Donald Trump is attempting to mediate a peace plan involving regional leaders. Israel has also set conditions for Palestinians displaced from West Bank refugee camps to return, demanding changes that would reduce Palestinian Authority influence in favor of Israeli security control. Meanwhile, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry reports Israel's efforts to establish permanent control over Gaza and the West Bank, pursuing policies that undermine Palestinian self-determination and constitute acts of genocide in Gaza. The UN report highlights systematic demolition of Palestinian infrastructure, expansion of Israeli buffer zones, and forced displacement in the West Bank, including annexation plans and settler violence. These developments have intensified international scrutiny of Israel's policies and raised urgent calls for reversing actions that severely impact Palestinian survival and rights.
