Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, has said that the international community’s failure to stop Israeli crimes had enabled it to commit genocide.

Genocide in Gaza is the result of “Israel’s decades-long impunity”, Albanese wrote in a post on social media.

“In this darkest hour, the international community cannot continue to ignore that it’s Israel’s project to rid Palestine of Palestinians in defiance of international law, and the world’s failure to call Israel to account has led to genocide laid bare in Gaza,” she says.
