Israel's genocide in Gaza impossible without global complicity, UN report says

Oct. 22, 2025 - A new United Nations report reveals that more than 60 countries are complicit in the "collective crime" of enabling Israel's genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

An advanced version of the report by UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, was made available on Monday. 

In her second report this year, Albanese called the genocide a “collective crime, sustained by the complicity of influential Third States that have enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel".

Albanese highlighted that the US used its UN Security Council veto power seven times to control ceasefire negotiations and provide diplomatic cover for the genocide. But she notes that the US did not act alone. It was helped by abstentions and delays, as well as watered-down draft resolutions from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands.
