The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, said Israel practises a “brutal and sadistic” apartheid against Palestinians.
“In fact, a single state in Palestine already exists. It is the opposite of democracy and becomes more brutal and sadistic towards its victims every day. Israel practises Apartheid,” she wrote on X.
In a separate tweet, following the International Court of Justice’s ruling on Israel’s occupation, Albanese wrote: “Israel’s 57yo occupation is UNLAWFUL, nothing concerning it should be considered as legal by member states & UN agencies alike and Israel must dismantle it at once, together with its illegal settlement enterprise, the apartheid that has sustained it and also offer reparations to the Palestinians.”
