Foreign Ministry: UN genocide inquiry claims 'debunked,' inquirers 'Hamas proxies'

The Foreign Ministry accused the UN commission of serving as “Hamas proxies” and urged its abolition following its latest Gaza report.

The Foreign Ministry denounced the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry into whether Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday as a "fake report."

Chair of the commission Navi Pillay, as well as commission members Chris Sidoti and Miloon Kothari, are "serving as Hamas proxies, notorious for their openly antisemitic positions," the ministry said.

The commission's report "relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others," which have been "thoroughly debunked," the ministry added.

Hamas is the party that has attempted genocide, due to its October 7 massacre and "openly declaring its goal of killing every Jew," the ministry stated.

"Miraculously, all three authors of this fabricated report have recently resigned. They should not be replaced," the statement continued.

Israel also called for the abolition of the commission, the ministry concluded.

This is a developing report.
