U.S. Mission to UN condemns inquiry into Israel as biased and illegitimate

The United States diplomatic mission to the United Nations publicly rejected a newly released UN Commission of Inquiry report that alleges Israel committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and continues acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip. In a post on X, the mission labeled the commission as a “biased, illegitimate inquisition” and asserted that antisemitism cannot be sanctioned by the UN. It emphasized that Jews have historically faced unique demonization and that Israel now occupies a similar position within the UN system.

The statement called for Israel to be subject to the same standards of justice as any other country, no more and no less. This denunciation comes as the commission’s findings intensify international scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. The U.S. mission’s remarks signal continued diplomatic friction over the UN’s handling of the conflict.
