The United Nations Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, said that Israel is committing horrific genocide in Gaza and slaughtering Palestinians daily with absolute support from Western countries.
Albanese explained in an interview with Tel Aviv Tribune that “genocide is a major crime that should shock us. During the past months, I have repeated in hundreds of interviews that the genocide practiced by Israel is horrific and terrible, and I do not understand how this continues until now.”
The UN official asked, “What does it take to stop this hell?”, before confirming that what is happening in Gaza has confirmed the end of the world order that was built after World War II.
She added, “The world order shows its true face as a colonial group of Western countries that continues to support Israel and claims that the matter is self-defense, but this is not the case. Israel is now slaughtering the Palestinians. What is seen are children in Gaza being killed in the street, and people being burned in tents.”
Albanese concluded her speech by stressing that what is happening in Gaza is “genocide with the aim of controlling the land, and this is what the Israelis themselves say.”
With American support, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 142,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.
Israel continues this war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
