UN inquiry says Israel kept committing genocide in Gaza after the ceasefire; Israel calls the report propaganda

A UN Commission of Inquiry report released Oct. 26 found Israel has continued committing 'genocidal acts' in Gaza despite the October 2025 ceasefire, documenting at least 196 Palestinians killed along the advancing front since the truce and Israeli control expanding from about 53% to 60% of the territory; Gaza's health ministry puts the broader toll above 1,500 killed since the truce. Israel rejected the report as 'propaganda detached from reality,' a day before its election.

Wire and broadcast coverage reports the inquiry's finding that the truce did not halt mass killing, alongside Israel's rejection.

ABC News (Australia) reported the UN Commission of Inquiry finding that Israel kept committing genocide in Gaza despite the ceasefire, documenting roughly 196 killed along the advancing front since the October 2025 truce and territorial control expanding to about 60% of Gaza, while noting the report dropped the day before Israel's election.

International coverage casts the truce as cover for continued killing and a steady expansion of Israeli-held territory.

The National reported the commission's conclusion that the Gaza ceasefire has not stopped Israeli 'genocidal acts,' relaying its account of civilians killed along the front and the broader war toll exceeding 74,000, and framing the land-control expansion as evidence the truce is being used to consolidate gains.

Israel dismisses the inquiry as a biased propaganda exercise and demands the commission be dissolved.

Relayed in wire coverage, Israel's foreign ministry rejected the UN report as 'a propaganda document detached from reality,' accused the commission of systemic anti-Israel bias and called for its dissolution, maintaining that its operations in Gaza target militants and comply with the law.

One week out, forecasters see the House firming toward Democrats as Senate control stays on a knife's edge

With seven days to the Nov. 3 midterms, final-week handicapping shows the House map hardening in Democrats' favor while Senate control remains a toss-up. Control hinges on a cluster of states — Alaska (Peltola v. Sullivan), Texas, Ohio, North Carolina and Maine — with Georgia and North Carolina drifting toward Democrats.

Analysts and networks see the House leaning Democratic while the Senate stays frozen on a handful of toss-ups a week out.

Final-week handicapping described the House map firming up for Democrats as Senate control stayed on a knife's edge, with Alaska's Peltola-Sullivan race and toss-ups in Texas, Ohio, North Carolina and Maine the decisive variables seven days before Election Day. CNN's analysis cast Trump's red-state closing blitz as a defensive turnout play.

Fed decision lands Wednesday with a hold near-certain as hot inflation keeps rate cuts off the table

The Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting runs Oct. 27-28, concluding Wednesday with markets pricing a near-certain hold on the 3.75-4.00% funds range even as a hot September CPI (3.7%) and the Iran-war energy shock keep inflation sticky. There are no new economic projections this meeting; the decision collides with the busiest week of Big Tech earnings and Thursday's GDP and spending data.

With no new dot-plot this meeting, a hold preserves the restrictive stance while the Fed watches whether oil-driven inflation cools.

FX Empire and NordFX previews framed the Oct 27-28 FOMC as a near-certain hold, with a cut all but priced out after September's hot CPI and the Middle East oil spike; because the October meeting carries no updated projections, analysts said the guidance tone matters more than the held rate, with GDP and spending data due Thursday.
