The UN special rapporteur on occupied Palestinian territories urged European nations to deliver a resolute response to Israel's recent assaults on Palestinians. Francesca Albanese, in a message conveyed on X, addressed fellow Europeans, emphasizing the imperative need for collective action.
Calling attention to the historical context, Albanese invoked the Holocaust, asserting that the tragic chapter in Europe's past should serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of dehumanizing any group. She warned that failure to react strongly to Israel's ongoing offensive against Palestinians would signify a profound failure to learn from history.
The current escalation in violence saw Israel recommence its military operations in the Gaza Strip on Friday, following a week-long humanitarian pause after clashes with the Palestinian group Hamas. The toll on Palestinians has been staggering, with over 15,899 reported deaths and more than 42,000 injuries resulting from relentless air and ground attacks since October 7. In stark contrast, the official Israeli death toll stands at 1,200.
