UN expert warns 'Israel's genocide of Palestinians will not be confined to Gaza'

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has raised concerns over the potential consequences of Israel's raids in the West Bank.

“As the long awaited ceasefire in Gaza took place, Israel’s death machinery escalated its firing in the West Bank, killing 10 people in Jenin [on Tuesday],” Albanese wrote in a post on X.

“If it is not forced to stop, Israel’s genocide of Palestinians will not be confined to Gaza. Mark my words,” she added.

As the long awaited ceasefire in Gaza took place, Israel's death machinery escalated its firing in the West Bank, killing 10 people in Jenin today. If it is not forced to stop, Israel's genocide of Palestinians will not be confined to Gaza. Mark my words. https://t.co/M4QcmCcPdL
