A United Nations commission of inquiry said Israeli authorities and forces continued to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal acts in Gaza after the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed in October 2025. Israel rejected the findings as part of a “misinformation campaign.”
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel presented its report to the General Assembly on October 26. The inquiry, chaired by former Indian judge S. Muralidhar, examined alleged violations against Palestinian civilians from the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel through September 2026.
The commission said Israeli forces continued using heavy munitions, drones, artillery and sniper fire in densely populated areas during the ceasefire. It alleged that Israel acted with intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza in whole or in part, and said more than 75,000 Palestinians had been killed across the occupied Palestinian territory since October 2023, including at least 21,500 children and 11,000 women.
The report also said conditions deteriorated sharply in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli military operations and settler violence formed part of a widespread and systematic attack on civilians. It accused Israeli authorities and forces there of crimes against humanity including extermination, torture, rape, sexual violence and persecution.
Israel’s Geneva mission urged the international community to reject the conclusions, saying the commission sought to undermine Israel’s legitimacy and deny its right to defend itself.
