UN expert on Palestine urges sanctions against Israel

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territory, described Israel’s attack on the tent camp in Rafah as “more horror”.

“This cruelty, along with blatant defiance of the int’l law and system, is unacceptable,” she said in a post on X.

“The [Gaza genocide] will not easily end without external pressure: Israel must face sanctions, justice, suspension of agreements, trade, partnership and investments, as well as participation in [international] forums.”
