UN Rapporteur Accuses Israel of Committing Genocide in Gaza Using US and European Weapons

According to SAEDNEWS, This past Saturday, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese voiced his profound concern in response to a tragic Israeli airstrike on the al-Tabin School in Gaza City. This devastating attack, which targeted a facility sheltering displaced Palestinians, resulted in the loss of over 100 lives and left dozens more injured. It is part of a disturbing pattern of Israeli airstrikes hitting civilian buildings in Gaza since the conflict escalated in early October.

In a powerful statement on social media platform X, UN rapporteur expressed grave concerns about the situation, accusing Israel of committing acts that could be described as genocide against the Palestinian people. She highlighted how these actions are being carried out with military support from the United States and European nations, all while much of the international community remains silent.

The rapporteur described Gaza as "the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century," lamenting that Israel’s actions have systematically targeted neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and even designated "safe zones." Her message echoed a growing frustration over the perceived indifference of what she termed "civilized nations" to the plight of Palestinians.

In her poignant post, she extended an apology on behalf of the international community, saying, "May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of international law."

As the situation continues to evolve, it raises critical questions about accountability and the responsibility of global powers to intervene in humanitarian crises. The humanitarian impact of this conflict remains severe, and the calls for action and awareness are louder than ever. The world watches closely as these events unfold in a region marked by ongoing strife.
