The allegations came in one of the most extensive reports of its kind on the issue since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel ignited the war. Israel has refuted them.

The Israeli government has rejected the findings of the UN report, which accused it of using "genocidal acts" and sexual violence as a war strategy in Gaza.

Israel is accused of using gender-based violence by the United Nations - allegations it refutes as unfounded, biased, and lacking credibility.

A report by a U.N. committee found that Israel has committed “genocidal acts” intended to prevent births. Israel quickly rejected the findings as biased.

Israel’s mission to the U.N. in Geneva rejected the allegations and accused the The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which was created by the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council, of relying on “second-hand, single, uncorroborated sources.”

A new report by the United Nation's Human Rights Commission found that Israel's "systematic destruction of sexual and reproductive healthcare," including its targeting of fertility clinics, in Gaza amounts to "genocidal acts".
