Part 7/9:
In a detailed discussion with Francesca Albanesi, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the chaotic aftermath of Israel's airstrikes was critiqued through the lens of international law. Albanesi addressed claims made by Israel regarding its military actions targeting Hamas, insisting that all parties must take precautions to spare civilian lives.
She expressed her belief that, according to international human rights standards, Israel is committing actions that could be characterized as genocide, given the mass casualties and devastation seen in Gaza. Albanesi remarked on the failure of the international community to intervene in stopping these crimes, which raises profound ethical and moral questions.
