Israel carried out "genocidal acts" against Palestinians and used sexual violence as a war strategy, United Nations experts said in a new report.

A United Nations investigation concluded Thursday that Israel carried out “genocidal acts” in Gaza through the destruction of its main IVF clinic, maternity facilities and other reproductive healthcare facilities.

The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations to resettle Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli air strike killed four Palestinians in Gaza, the territory's civil emergency service said, as Arab mediators and the United States tried to hammer out differences between Hamas and Israel over a January 19 ceasefire agreement.

Arab countries reject Gaza displacement as ethnic cleansing, but Israeli officials say they are working on plans to make it happen, and polls suggest most Israelis are open to the idea.
