Event Summary

A UN inquiry released a report accusing Israeli authorities of direct involvement in settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, providing financial and military support, and shielding settlers during violence against Palestinians. The report highlights a 130% surge in attacks since 2023, leading to Palestinian deaths, injuries, and displacement. It also documented severe human rights abuses by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, including executions and physical violence against Palestinians, and reiterated that the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas amounted to war crimes. The report further accused Israel of committing war crimes and potential genocide in Gaza, with over 72,000 deaths, and called for Israel to comply with International Court of Justice orders to prevent genocide. The findings have drawn strong condemnation and calls for international action against both Israel and Hamas.
