UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese said that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and “constitutes an aggression against the right of self-determination”.
The UN special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territory was speaking remotely at a news conference for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“The Palestinians – like it or not – have the right to resist the oppression,” she said.
She pointed out that UNRWA has been subjected to a smear campaign by Israel and other countries.
“I am sounding the alarm to not turn a blind eye to what is happening to the Palestinian people under Israeli military rule,” she said, stressing that the impunity enjoyed by Israel allows it to violate international law.
The Gaza Strip has been under brutal bombardment since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7.
