A NEW United Nations report has accused Israel of delegitimising and silencing civil society by outlawing Palestinian human rights groups and labelling their members terrorists.
The findings came in the annual report by the UN human rights council’s commission of inquiry published on Thursday.
The commission, led by a three-member team of rights experts, was established in 2021 after the 11-day war between Israel and the Hamas militant group in Gaza.
