NEW YORK, (PIC)
Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, said that the international community’s failure to stop Israeli crimes enabled Israel to commit the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
She wrote in a post on X on Saturday that the Genocide in Gaza is the result of “Israel’s decades-long impunity.”
Albanese stressed that the international community cannot continue to ignore that it’s Israel’s project to rid Palestine of Palestinians in defiance of international law, and the world’s failure to call Israel to account has led to genocide laid bare in Gaza.
Earlier, Albanese said that “the fact that Western media does not talk about the Israeli genocide in Gaza does not mean that genocide and repression have stopped; rather it confirms that they are normalized,” noting that famine has been spreading across the Gaza Strip as a result of the “intentional Israeli starvation against the Palestinians.”
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, backed by the US, has launched a devastating war on Gaza, leading to killing and injuring more than 126,000 Palestinians, most of them were children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children.
