The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese said on Thursday that Israel's decision to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council was "extremely serious".
"It shows the hubris and the lack of realisation of what they [Israel] have done. They insist in self-righteousness that they have nothing to be held accountable for, and they are proving it to the entire international community," Albanese told Reuters.
