#Gaza #FrancescaAlabese #UNSpecialRapporteur #Israel - UN special rapporteur says sanctions must be imposed on Israel:

3 November 2024

Francesca Albanese says there is nothing that prevents a UN member state from abiding by international law, and states individually have an obligation not to aid or assist a state “which is committing atrocities day in and day out”.

“They have to stop those who are still transferring weapons [to Israel]… and also buying or purchasing military and security services from Israel must stop,” she told Al Jazeera.

Albanese said any trade with Israel must be “interrupted”, adding that diplomatic and political sanctions must also be applied.

“Whoever is not taking these steps is either responsible or completely indifferent to the plight of millions of Palestinians,” she noted.
