The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, released its report on September 16, 2025. The three-member Commission headed by eminent South African jurist and former UN Human Rights Commissioner Navanethem "Navi" Pillay stated that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

"The Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," said the report. In its report, the Commission urged Israel and all States to fulfill their legal obligations under international law to end the genocide and punish those responsible for it.

As is well known, the Israeli Government of Prime Minister Benjamin "Bebe" Netanyahu has been conducting a savage military onslaught against the Palestinian people in general and the residents of Gaza in particular for the past two years. The military campaign has been severely criticised by people of conscience all over the world, ranging from leftists to liberals, as a genocidal war. The Navi Pillay Commission report added much credence and weight to the charge of genocide against Israel.
