UN Particular Rapporteur Francesca Albanese explains how Israel justifies its killing and mass destruction in Gaza.
To the United Nations official tasked with reporting on Palestinian human rights, worldwide legislation is obvious: Israel ought to withdraw from the territories it occupied in 1967.
As a substitute, Israel goals for the “impossibility to continue civil life in Gaza,” as UN Particular Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese tells host Steve Clemons.
Israel doesn’t deny the killings and mass destruction, however as a substitute justifies its behaviour as “compliance with international humanitarian law”, Albanese says.
And the failure of governments all over the world to pressure Israel to cease the onslaught solely weakens the concept of worldwide legislation, “because it creates precedents for others to violate it”.
