UN Expert Urges Accountability for Gaza’s Destruction
Addressing a gathering in London focused on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese emphasized the need for a comprehensive evaluation of international involvement in the genocide in Gaza. She underlined that accountability should extend beyond Israel, asserting that every country enabling the genocide must be subjected to punitive measures.
"States must cut ties with Israel, must stop aiding and assisting a state that maintains an unlawful occupation," Albanese declared.
While discussing responsibility and reparations, the UN expert argued that Israel should finance Gaza’s reconstruction together with the US, Germany, and Italy, identifying them as the principal providers of arms.
She further maintained that a thorough inquiry is necessary into the United Kingdom’s role in the genocide, particularly concerning services allegedly facilitated through military bases located in Cyprus.
"If Israel do not want to be accused of colonial practices, it should not behave as a colonial power, as a colonial entity, taking land, displacing the people," she added.
Referring to the prolonged violence, Albanese described the two-year genocide in Gaza as "the combination of 60 years of impunity," warning that it will not come to an end "unless things change in London or in Rome, or in Berlin, or in Paris."
