Today the United Nations commission that I lead is publishing its Legal Analysis of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip. Our conclusion is stark: Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This finding is based on investigations and extensive evidence into the period between Oct. 7, 2023, when the war began, and July 31, 2025. It has been corroborated by multiple sources and assessed through the rigorous legal framework of the U.N. Genocide Convention of 1948, to which Israel is a party.
Ravi Pillay, chair of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.

Israel Ground Invasion of Gaza City begins ...
The announcement of the ground operation — accompanied by a wave of intense bombardment — has terrified the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians still in Gaza City. Montaser Bahja, a former schoolteacher sheltering in one of the city’s western neighborhoods, said massive explosions started overnight. He said his family was currently packing to leave but had no idea when, how or where they would be able to flee. “I don’t have anywhere to go in southern Gaza, no house, no tent, no car in which to travel. They’re not fighting Hamas. They’re fighting all of us civilians,” he said in a phone interview. “The ground is shaking. We are all terrified,” he added.

Nesreen Joudeh, 40, said she was sheltering with her husband and four kids in al-Shati, a neighborhood in western Gaza City. The shock of near continuous explosions was making their walls shake and crack.“With every single strike, pieces of concrete fall,” she said. “My ears hurt a lot because I am screaming all the time,” she added.
