UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese stressed that the Israeli occupation practices apartheid against the Palestinians, adding that Israel is becoming more brutal towards its victims every day.
In a post on the X platform, Albanese said that in fact, a single state in Palestine already exists and that Israel is practicing apartheid against the Palestinians.
This comes at a time when the International Court of Justice confirmed, on Friday, during its session to announce its opinion on the legal consequences of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967, that the Israeli occupation’s settlement policies and its exploitation of natural resources in the occupied territories violate international law, adding that the Israeli settlement policy violates the Fourth Geneva Convention, clarifying that Israel, as the occupying power, must manage the lands for the benefit of the Palestinians.
For the 289th consecutive day, the Is
raeli occupation continues its unprecedented aggression against the Gaza Strip by launching air strikes and artillery shelling, while committing massacres against civilians, amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation as a result of the siege and the displacement of more than 95 percent of the population.
