UN experts: Genocide in Gaza continues despite ceasefire agreement

Independent experts appointed by the United Nations have confirmed in a new report that Israel continues to commit acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement, and accused Israeli forces of committing crimes against humanity, including torture and sexual assaults against Palestinian detainees.

Independent experts appointed by the United Nations confirmed in a report released Monday that Israel continues to commit acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement. The experts accused Israeli forces of committing crimes against humanity, including torture and sexual assaults against Palestinian detainees. The report included shocking accounts of Palestinian detainees suffering sexual assaults committed by guards and soldiers since October 2023. In one account, female guards stripped a pregnant Palestinian woman for a search. In another account, guards beat a female detainee and directed sexually degrading language at her. The report highlighted that Israel continues to deliberately commit acts of genocide aimed at destroying Palestinians in Gaza, in whole or in part. The article also referenced a poll conducted by the Associated Press and the NORC Institute for Public Affairs Research last July, which showed that about 30% of American Jews believe Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
