Israel Urges UN to Dissolve Gaza Inquiry Commission Over Alleged Bias

 

Israel has formally called on the United Nations Human Rights Council to dismantle its Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel. In a letter sent by Israel’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Daniel Meron, the commission was accused of “institutional discrimination” and bias against Israel.

The commission, established in 2021, has repeatedly condemned Israeli military actions in Gaza, particularly following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas. Its most recent report accused Israel of committing “genocidal acts” against Palestinians—a claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced as antisemitic and politically motivated.

Israel disengaged from the Human Rights Council earlier this year and has consistently criticized the commission’s findings. While Council President Jurg Lauber received the letter, he lacks the authority to abolish the commission; that decision lies with the Council’s 47 member states.

The controversy underscores deep divisions over the UN’s role in investigating human rights violations in the region, with Israel asserting that the inquiry undermines its legitimacy and security concerns.
