UN’s relevance at stake as Israel defies it

Israel’s continuous assault on Gaza and blatant violations of international law are threatening the very foundation of the UN’s credibility and existence

Israel has been following a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system, particularly those devoted to paediatric and neonatal, sexual and reproductive health services, and thus, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity’, a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry said in a new report, which is being presented to the UN General Assembly very soon. Israel has slammed it as ‘outrageous’, accusing the investigators of bias. Israel has been on a spree of retaliatory attacks on Gaza for the last year, after Hamas, stormed into its territory, killing and kidnapping several Israeli citizens.  So far, Israeli retaliatory strikes, reportedly, had killed more than 42,000 civilians in Gaza and displaced almost its entire population.
