The UN Commission of Inquiry has accused Israel of actively obstructing efforts to collect evidence from victims and first-hand witnesses in the ongoing investigation into the October 7 attacks.

Speaking at a press conference organized by Egypt for diplomats in Geneva, Switzerland, commission member Chris Sidoti said, "When it comes to the Israeli government, we have faced not only a lack of cooperation but active obstruction of our efforts to receive evidence from Israeli witnesses and victims regarding the events that took place in southern Israel."

Calling on the Israeli government to cooperate, Sidoti urged victims and witnesses of the events in southern Israel to contact the commission, stating, "We are in contact with many people, but we want to be in contact with more."

The UN Commission of Inquiry has been collecting evidence regarding war crimes committed by all parties in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, 2023.
