“Necessary’ to stand with both Israelis, Palestinians, UN rapporteur says
Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, has warned of a “dangerous” narrative about the Israel-Hamas conflict that ignores the history of violence against Palestinians.
Albanese said the international community should be “wise and even-handed” when tackling the result of “decades of oppression imposed on the Palestinians, brutalisation, structural violence of course punctuated also by eruptive violence”.
