United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory

Israel condemned a UN report accusing it of deliberately targeting Palestinian children, calling it a 'political blood libel.' The UN Commission of Inquiry alleged Israel committed genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel's ambassador to the UN dismissed the report as biased and focused on vilifying Israel rather than addressing Hamas' actions.

U.S. forces launched retaliatory strikes against Iran following the downing of an Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps reported attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan and Gulf targets. Jordanian air defenses intercepted missiles from Iran, and a UN report highlighted severe human rights violations in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
