Jerusalem has strongly rejected a new report from the UN Human Rights Council, labeling it as disinformation and a systematic campaign to discredit Israel. The report, compiled by an independent commission investigating events in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria, alleges that the Israeli army continued actions that could be defined as genocide even after a ceasefire last fall. The commission claims Israeli authorities intend to destroy the population of Gaza, either partially or entirely. The report, covering the past twelve months, also details alleged severe violations by Israeli security forces in Judea and Samaria, which international law classifies as crimes against humanity. Specific accusations include systematic torture of detainees and acts of violence, with the commission calling for formal proceedings against those responsible.
Israel's permanent mission to the UN in Geneva immediately responded, denying all points in the report. Israeli diplomats stated that the UN Human Rights Council has become a tool to deny Israel's right to self-defense and existence. Jerusalem has consistently criticized the commission's mandate as biased since its inception, arguing that it ignores attacks by terrorist groups, rocket fire, and hostage-taking while solely blaming Israeli security services. The Israeli Foreign Ministry urged the international community not to support politically motivated resolutions that undermine trust in international law institutions.
