A United Nations report documents Israel's systematic use of sexual violence and accuses it of genocidal acts in Gaza

According to a report published by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Israel is increasingly resorting to sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians as part of a broader strategy to undermine their right to self-determination. The destruction of maternity wards in Gaza and embryos in a fertility clinic could indicate a strategy to prevent births within a particular group, which is one of the legal definitions of genocide. Israeli authorities have stated that they categorically reject these baseless allegations.
