An independent UN commission stated that Israeli authorities and forces are committing crimes against humanity in the West Bank. The document details acts of extermination, torture, and sexual violence against the civilian population.
Investigators described military operations and settler violence as a systematic and widespread attack. The report covers events occurring since October 2023 and points to persecution based on race and ethnicity.
Israel's mission in Geneva rejected the group's findings. The Israeli government labeled the material a disinformation campaign and requested the immediate dissolution of the commission.
The geopolitical instability in the Middle East is increasing risk aversion in global markets. The persistence of armed conflicts in the region tends to pressure the demand for safe-haven assets and may create volatility in the dollar and Bitcoin.
