Israeli authorities are responsible for “war crimes and crimes against humanity committed” during the military attacks in Gaza since October 7, 2023, a UN-backed commission said in a new report. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry found that Israeli authorities are responsible for “the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare, murder or wilful killing, intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects, forcible transfer, sexual violence, torture and inhuman or cruel treatment, arbitrary detention and outrages upon personal dignity.”
