Report submitted to the General Assembly

The Independent International Commission of Inquiry established by the UN Human Rights Council published a report on Israel's actions in Gaza on 26 October. In the document signed by the commission, it is stated that Israel continued to commit acts of genocide in Gaza even after the ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025. The report, submitted to the UN General Assembly, was released ahead of Israel's first parliamentary elections since the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023. Israel firmly rejects the report. This was reported by Kun.uz citing the commission's publication.

What the report contains

Since October 2023, the commission has been examining killings and injuries committed by Israeli and Palestinian security forces. As Reuters writes, the document notes that even during the ceasefire, Israeli forces continued to use heavy and unguided bombs, drones and sniper weapons in densely populated areas. According to the data cited in the report, from 10 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, 1,431 people were killed as a result of Israeli strikes in Gaza, including at least 300 children.

Expansion of the controlled zone

A separate conclusion of the report concerns territory: the part of Gaza controlled by Israel has expanded from the 53% stipulated by the agreement to at least 60%. The 'yellow line' declared as temporary has in fact turned into a new border. Earlier, in May 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he had ordered control to be established over 70% of Gaza's territory. Thus, the report records a change in the situation on the ground relative to the terms of the ceasefire agreement — this conclusion goes beyond a simple report of new strikes and shows that the demarcation line, intended as temporary, is being consolidated.
