VIENNA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, said that it is time to take necessary actions and do everything possible to halt the ongoing Israeli brutality in the Gaza Strip.
This was said during her speech at a conference at the University of Vienna, Austria, titled “The Israeli War: Colonial Ethnic Cleansing” a couple of days ago.
Albanese affirmed that Israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. She added, “What is happening in Gaza cannot simply be described as war, as there are rules for wars too; what is occurring there is total destruction.”
With U.S. support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in more than 150,000 Palestinian casualties, most of whom are children and women, and over 11,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and the elderly, making it one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
Tel Aviv continues its massacres, ignoring arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court on November 21 against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Army Minister Yoav Gallant for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel also defies the UN Security Council’s resolution to end the war immediately and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
