UN-commissioned experts say Gaza ceasefire has not stopped Israel from committing genocide

Neutral summary
A UN-commissioned group of independent experts said in a report published Monday that a Gaza ceasefire has not stopped what it calls genocide by Israel in the territory. The commission said Israel was "continuing to commit genocidal acts with the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in Gaza." It said Israeli forces expanded from controlling 53% of Gaza to at least 60% since the ceasefire was signed in October 2025, and that Israeli fire killed at least 196 Palestinians in that time. The report also accused Israel and its security forces of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and Gaza, including torture and rape, citing six cases of sexual violence against male Gaza detainees at Sde Teiman prison. The Associated Press could not independently corroborate the graphic accounts. Israel, which denies the genocide and sexual assault claims, did not immediately respond. The ceasefire followed a war begun by Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7, 2023; Gaza's Health Ministry says over 74,000 Palestinians have been killed.
Where accounts differ. The Hindu omits the Toronto Star's detail that Israel's campaign has killed over 74,000 Palestinians and its description of the pregnant detainee's abuse, and gives a less detailed account of the rape allegation at Sde Teiman, while noting Israel's denial more explicitly.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
