The UN reported on the “confirmation of genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza”

On September 16, 2025, the “independent United Nations commission” published a report claiming that Israel is committing an act of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Navi Pillay, the chair of the commission, pointed to the responsibility of Israel’s top authorities, who have been conducting a campaign over the past two years aimed at destroying the Palestinian group in Gaza.

It is also emphasized that Israel has failed to stop the acts of genocide and hold those responsible accountable.

Report Content

The report, consisting of 72 pages, informs that Israeli authorities and security forces “committed four out of five acts defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention of Genocide.” This includes “killings, significant physical or mental harm, creating conditions threatening the lives of Palestinians, as well as measures preventing the birth of children.”

The commission relies on “the results of previous investigations, legal conclusions regarding Israeli operations in Gaza, and statements by Israeli officials.” It analyzes “the intentions to commit genocide and the actual manifestations of such behavior.”

Israel’s Reaction

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately rejected this report, characterizing it as “fake and distorted.”

Request to Disband the Commission

In a statement, the ministry noted that the report “is entirely based on Hamas’s lies,” which “are repeated by other sources.” Israel demanded the immediate closure of the investigation commission.

Escalation of the Conflict

At this time, Israeli armed forces launched a new ground operation to capture the city of Gaza, following a month of intense bombings as part of the nearly two-year conflict with Hamas. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that “Gaza is burning.”
