A United Nations investigation claims Israel aims to take permanent control of Gaza. The report from the UN Commission of Inquiry states Israel's government wants to ensure Jewish majority in Israel and the occupied West Bank. According to the UN human rights office OHCHR, Israel's policy shows clear intent to forcibly transfer Palestinians. The report says Israel seeks to expand Jewish civilian presence and annex the entire West Bank. The investigation also describes systematic demolition of civilian infrastructure in Gaza's corridors and buffer zones. This resulted in Israel controlling over 75% of the Gaza Strip by July this year. The findings come from the UN's official human rights monitoring body. The report represents one of the most comprehensive international examinations of the conflict. UN investigators compiled evidence over several months of research. Their conclusions will likely influence international diplomatic responses to the Gaza situation.
