Members of a United Nations commission said on Tuesday that Israel was obstructing their efforts to investigate possible human rights violations on Oct. 7 and in the ensuing war between Israel and Hamas. But they said the commission had still shared large amounts of evidence with the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have faced not merely a lack of cooperation but active obstruction of our efforts to receive evidence from Israeli witnesses and victims\u201d related to the Oct. 7 attack, Chris Sidoti, one of three members of the commission, told a briefing for diplomats in Geneva. The commission was formed in 2021 to investigate human rights violations in Israel and the Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n

Israel has accused the commission of bias, and has said it would not cooperate with what it described as \u201can anti-Israeli, antisemitic body.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has not allowed the commission to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories, and in January it instructed Israeli medical personnel who treated released hostages and victims of the Oct. 7 attack not to cooperate with the panel, which is led by Navi Pillay, the former United Nations human rights chief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
