GENEVA ¨C The Israeli government has shown a clear intent to establish permanent control over Gaza and to ensure a Jewish majority in the occupied West Bank, a United Nations commission said in a report on Tuesday.
The U.N. report details Israeli authorities¡¯ extensive, systematic demolition of civilian infrastructure in Gaza¡¯s corridors and buffer zone ¡ª resulting in Israel expanding control to 75% of the Gaza Strip by July this year.
¡°Israeli forces have also intentionally altered the geography of Gaza¡± through the creation of military corridors, expanding the border buffer zone and establishing security zones, the report by the U.N.¡¯s Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory said.
