UN commission of inquiry accuses Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, amounting to genocide.

A UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry report released on June 23, 2026 concluded that Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, constituting genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Gaza, as well as war crimes in the West Bank. The report found approximately 30% of those killed in Gaza were children and that killings continued after the October 2025 ceasefire. Israel's foreign ministry rejected the report as a "libellous sham" and accused the commission of bias.
