Israel Rejects UN Report’s Extermination Allegations in Hebron

Israel on Monday dismissed accusations in a report by a United Nations commission of inquiry as “political propaganda.”

The report accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including extermination. The allegations drew an Israeli response over the report’s findings concerning Hebron.

The commission also accused Israel of continuing to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip, extending its findings beyond the West Bank.

Israel’s response rejected the accusations as politically motivated. The report’s allegations concern both crimes against humanity in the West Bank and genocide in Gaza, distinct categories under international law.
