BREAKING: UN inquiry says Israel committed West Bank extermination, genocide after Gaza ceasefire The commission, created by the UN Human Rights Council in 2021 and now chaired by Indian jurist S. Muralidhar, released its report to the UN General Assembly on Monday, the eve of Israel's national election. Its count of Palestinians killed across Gaza and the West Bank since October 7, 2023 tops 75,000, including at least 21,500 children. In the West Bank, Israeli forces killed 1,080 Palestinians from October 7, 2023 through September, including at least 237 boys and seven girls, the report says. Airstrikes killed six there from 2008 to October 6, 2023, and 254 since. It says Operation Iron Wall, launched in January 2025, brought more airstrikes and imported Gaza's total-destruction strategy into refugee camps, driving the largest West Bank displacement since 1967, with 34,176 still displaced in August. The commission also says Israel committed persecution, a crime against humanity, pointing to a two-track open-fire policy. It says rules loosened after October 7 let soldiers use lethal force on Palestinians over a perceived threat, while they are barred from doing the same to Jewish Israelis in the West Bank. Children are also deliberately targeted because of their age, it says. Central Command chief Avi Bluth reportedly said in May that soldiers are "killing like we haven't since 1967." The commission says the Israeli soldier who killed Turkish American activist Ayşenur Eygi in Beita in September 2024 committed the war crime of willful killing, targeting her deliberately. It says she was shot in the head about 20 minutes after clashes had largely subsided, was the only person directly shot, and that the soldier reportedly raised a fist to a colleague afterward. Israel's own military said at the time it was highly likely she was hit indirectly and unintentionally. In Gaza, the report counts 1,431 Palestinians killed between the October 2025 ceasefire and September 30, at least 300 of them children. It says that contradicts the Board of Peace, set up by President Trump, which told the Security Council in May the truce had largely held. At least 196 people were killed near the Yellow Line dividing Gaza by early April, and Israeli-held ground has grown from 53 to at least 60 percent. The commission says it documented new cases of rape and sexual abuse of detainees at Megiddo, Damon and Sde Teiman, and that two detained members of the 2025 Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza were sexually abused, one raped. Israeli military prosecutors closed two rape and attempted rape files after preliminary inquiries despite digital evidence. Of the killings it examined, it knows of no effective investigation, and no family has received a remedy, even where Israel admitted mistakes. Because it covers state forces, the report also faults the Palestinian Authority, saying PA forces killed at least 14 Palestinians, including two boys, from October 2023 to October 2025 and targeted journalists and dissenters. It says a PA operation in Jenin camp was coordinated with Israel, which reportedly launched Iron Wall there hours after PA forces withdrew. Israel did not answer either of the commission's two requests for information; Palestinian authorities did, the report says. Navi Pillay, who chaired the commission when it first found genocide in 2025, won the Nobel Peace Prize this month. The report cites Netanyahu saying in May that he had ordered forces to seize 70 percent of Gaza, and army chief Eyal Zamir calling the Yellow Line Israel's new border. Netanyahu faces voters today under an ICC arrest warrant. The commission asks the court's prosecutor to weigh adding genocide and the West Bank crimes to existing warrants, and urges states to counter sanctions on the court, which Washington has imposed since 2025.
