The independent UN body responsible for investigating Israel says it is short on money.
An independent commission of inquiry investigating violations of international law in the occupied Palestinian territory has warned it cannot continue its work.
Severe funding shortages are derailing the body established by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council in 2021.
The United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council earlier this year. Still, it continues to owe about $1.5bn in outstanding fees to the UN.
What, then, is the impact on this commission in the face of rapidly increasing Israeli settler violence and the illegal expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank?
