The United Nations expert who published the report saying there were reasonable grounds to believe that Israel committed genocide in Gaza during its military campaign against Hamas said
The United Nations expert who published the report saying there were reasonable grounds to believe that Israel committed genocide in Gaza during its military campaign against Hamas said on Wednesday that received threats throughout his entire term of office.
Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, presented a report on Tuesday to the UN Human Rights Council entitled “Anatomy of a genocide” claimed by Israel. “completely reject”.
Asked if his work on the report was the reason he received threats, Albanese replied: “Yes, I receive threats. Nothing that so far I have considered requiring additional precautions. Pressure? Yes, and this does not change either my obligations or the results of my work.”
Albanese, who has been in power since 2022, did not specify the nature of the threats or say who made them.
“Those were difficult times. They always attacked mesince the beginning of my mandate.”

Israel criticized Albanese, saying he “delegitimation of the very creation and existence of the State of Israel“. Albanese denies the allegations.
Albanese stated that one of his main conclusions was that Israeli executive and military leaders and soldiers “deliberately undermined their protective functions in attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.”
“The only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the disclosure of this policy is that Israeli state policy of genocide and violence against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip“.
This was reported by the Israeli diplomatic mission in Geneva. use of the word genocide was ‘outrageous’ and stated that the war was against Hamas, not Palestinian civilians.

Albanese, an Italian lawyer and academic, is one of dozens of independent human rights experts commissioned by the United Nations to report on specific issues and crises. The views expressed by the Special Rapporteurs do not reflect the views of the world organization as a whole.
After analyzing Israel’s patterns of violence and policies in its attack on the Gaza Strip, the paper concludes that Israel is intentionally committing at least three “acts of genocide” is defined as such in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
These would be “murder of group members”where more than 30,000 Palestinians have died in five months of conflict, “serious physical or mental harm to group members”and “intentionally provoke in a group conditions calculated for its physical destruction partial or complete.”
Serious physical and mental harm will be proven, among other evidence, by more than 70,000 Palestinians were injured in the conflictor for deliberately creating shortages of medications, which in the most severe cases led to the need for amputations without anesthesia.

Creating living conditions for the “physical destruction” of Palestinians, Albani’s report claims, will be proven destruction of 77% of medical institutions in the 68% band of telecommunications infrastructure or 60% homes and educational institutionsincluding all universities.
Based on its findings, the United Nations Rapporteur’s report will request the Human Rights Council Immediate arms embargo on Israeland move to the side independent investigation human rights violations in the Gaza Strip.
It will also call for action to strip repair warrantyincluding full payment by Israel and “complicit” states for the reconstruction of Gaza, as well as the deployment of an “international protective presence” in the Palestinian territory to prevent continued violence against the population.
The report will be published exactly two months after the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN court in The Hague, in a preliminary ruling asked Israel to take all necessary measures to prevent genocide in the Gaza Strip, although it has still not determined whether whether there is such a genocide in the strip, since such a conclusion could take years of process.
