UN commission says Israel committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and West Bank

Single source · Gaza Strip, Palestinian territories (approximate) · 2026-10-26

A UN Commission of Inquiry report released on Monday 26 October 2026 accuses Israel of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank, and several outlets say it also describes genocide in Gaza. Reported figures differ by scope: JPost attributes almost 500 West Bank killed annually since 2022 to the commission, NewsCord attributes more than 1,431 killed in Gaza after the October 2025 ceasefire up to 30 September 2026 to it, and LA Times reports UN-commissioned experts citing at least 196 killed in Gaza since October 2025. Israel's Foreign Affairs Ministry rejected the report, as headlined by JPost.
