The UN Special Rapporteur Albanese stresses that holding “Israel ” accountable is “more needed than ever” as it continues to commit crimes and genocide against the Palestinians.
“Israel’s” crimes in Gaza for nearly six months could keep the International Criminal Court (ICC) busy for the next 50 years, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, said.
Albanese posted a video on X showing Israeli occupation forces pursuing and killing four Palestinian civilians in the city of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, with an armed drone.
“The colossal amount of evidence concerning international crimes committed by Israel in Gaza just over the past six months could keep the International Criminal Court busy for the next five decades, especially at the current proceedings pace,” she warned.
She reiterated that holding “Israel” accountable is “more needed than ever” as it continues to commit crimes and genocide against the Palestinians.
Last month, Albanese declared that “Israel” is violating orders issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to immediately protect Palestinians’ rights and cease all activities amounting to genocide.
“Israel” is required to “take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza, after proof was found of “discernibly genocidal and dehumanizing rhetoric coming from senior Israeli government officials.”
The ICJ orders also obliged it to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance.”
Two days after her comment, an Israeli Kan correspondent reported that Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, along with Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, have announced that Albanese “will not be allowed to enter Israel or the Palestinian territories after recent comment.”
Albanese had made comments as well a few hours prior making reference to the importance of addressing the crimes of Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, especially regarding “the apparent extra judicial killings by ISR forces disguised as medical staff” inside Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin.
