UN Commission Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza, Cites Top Officials for Incitement

A United Nations commission of inquiry has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza in a bid to destroy the Palestinians there, and blamed Israel’s prime minister and other top officials for incitement.

According to the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry’s Chief, Navi Pillay, they stated grounds for the commission’s conclusion, that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas.

Meanwhile, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), is hearing a case brought by South Africa that accuses Israeli forces of genocide, however, Israel has called the case unfounded and biased.
