Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the report as “antisemitic” and called its findings “lies,” noting that “it is not a coincidence” that Israel withdrew a month ago from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which he also called “antisemitic.”
The findings, presented alongside public hearings in Geneva, also highlight the systematic destruction of reproductive healthcare facilities in Gaza and describe a “broader strategy to undermine Palestinian self-determination.” The report finds that Israel’s conduct has amounted to carrying out “genocidal acts” under international law, in addition to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
