Israel seeks total removal of Palestinians from their homeland: UN expert
Israel is committing genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip with the aim of “eradicating” Palestinians from their homeland, says UN rights expert Francesca Albanese.
The UN’s special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories wrote in a report that was made public on Tuesday that Israel's barbaric campaign of death and destruction— which began on October 7, 2023— is “part of a long-term international, systematic state-organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.”
“Today, the genocide of the Palestinians appears to be the means to an end: The complete removal or eradication of Palestinians from the land so integral to their identity, and which is illegally and openly coveted by Israel."
She said the regime of Israel has subjected "millions of Palestinians, for generations, to everyday indignities, mass killing, mass incarceration, forced displacement, racial segregation and apartheid."
“The Gaza genocide," she said, "is a tragedy foretold, and one that risks expanding to other Palestinians under Israeli rule."
In an address to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Albanese had previously said that that Israel’s genocide in Gaza “is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians.”
Over the past year, Israel has refused to abide by the International Court of Justice order in January to take provisional measures in order to prevent the crime of genocide.
At least 43,020 people have been killed by Israeli force in Gaza, according to the latest figures released by the Gaza health ministry.
