About this listen

The UN Commission of Inquiry has delivered its starkest assessment yet – finding that Israel has been and is committing genocide in Gaza.

Israel has rejected the report, saying it’s acting in self-defence and takes steps to protect civilians.


Meanwhile, Israel has begun a major ground offensive in Gaza City after weeks of bombardment.

And abroad, Israel’s strike in the Qatari capital of Doha has rattled Qatar's mediator role and put hopes of a ceasefire further in doubt.

Today, Senior Diplomatic Correspondent for HuffPost Akbar Shahid Ahmed, on the next stage of Israel’s war.
