UN rapporteur condemns global indifference to Israel’s actions in Gaza

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, criticised both Israel and the broader international community for disregarding international law.

Speaking at a news conference in Copenhagen, she voiced frustration over the lack of enforcement of court rulings against Israel’s war in Gaza and occupation of the West Bank.

“We are at a critical and dangerous moment,” Albanese said. “After 15 months, the ceasefire … brings a glimmer of hope, yet the situation on the ground remains dire.”

She argued that Israel had exploited the war to expand its control and forcibly displace Palestinians.

“Israel has carried out acts of genocide under the cover of war,” she said.
