Israel accused of crimes against humanity in West Bank | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News - NHKニュース
A panel for the UN Human Rights Council says Israel has committed crimes against humanity against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.
An independent commission of inquiry report released on Monday outlined findings on the human rights situation in the Israeli-occupied West Bank between October 2023 and September this year.
The report says Israeli settlers and military operations killed more than 1,100 Palestinians in the West Bank during the three-year period.
It says 254 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes during this time compared to only six between 2008 and 2023.
The report says Israel's crimes against humanity include extermination, persecution, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence.
It says Israel continues to commit genocide in Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire agreement taking effect in October last year.
Israel's Foreign Ministry says the report "is not a human rights report but a propaganda document detached from reality," and a "shameful legacy of the UN Secretary-General."
