Albanese calls for Israel's suspension from the UN
UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese said that Israel is 'targeting Palestinians as a people, and this is what defines the crime of genocide'.
In an interview with Palestine TV, Albanese said that Israel has "violated the UN charter" and "must be held accountable for its actions".
She called for Israel's suspension from the UN due to its violations of international law.
"Israel has destroyed or damaged UN premises, targeted shelters, and accused the UN of terrorism," she added.
