Published on Tuesday, the report was based on work by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, that took place last year. At that time, the commission concluded that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The COI‘s report also found that the „intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued,“ causing unprecedented death, injury and trauma to Palestinian children. Israel denies the allegations and says the commission‘s report is propoganda meant to vilify the country.
