UN Report: Palestinians Face ‘Grave Violations’ from Both Israel and Hamas

A new United Nations investigation reports that Palestinian civilians are suffering severe human rights abuses from both sides in the ongoing conflict. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry stated that in the occupied West Bank, Palestinians face violence from Israeli settlers. In Gaza, the report says, forces linked to Hamas have carried out executions, maiming, and arbitrary punishment. The findings highlight what the commission calls “grave violations” committed by all parties involved in the fighting.
