⚖️ UN Rights Chief Urges Israel to Prevent “Acts of Genocide” in Gaza, Warns of Ethnic Cleansing Across Palestinian Territory A new UN Human Rights Office report published Monday concluded that Israel committed “serious violations of international humanitarian law, which in many cases may have amounted to war crimes and other atrocity crimes” in Gaza. UN High Commissioner Volker Türk called on Israel to “prevent the commission of acts of genocide,” allow displaced Palestinians to return, and “end its unlawful presence in the Palestinian territory.” The report raised concerns over “ethnic cleansing” across Gaza and the West Bank, warning that Israel’s “concerted and accelerating practice of undermining the fabric of Palestinian life while consolidating annexation” represents a deeply troubling trajectory. UN human rights head for the occupied territories Ajith Sunghay said Israeli forces and settlers are “killing more and more Palestinians with impunity, often together. Impunity only fuels recurrence.”
