Rapporteur calls for suspending Israel’s UN membership
A UN rapporteur has called for Israel’s suspension from the United Nations for its repeated violations of international law and the occupation of Palestinian territories.
UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese made the statement on Wednesday.
She is recommending the General Assembly consider Israel’s suspension until it ends violating international laws and withdraws its occupation.
Albanese issued a report earlier this week accusing Israel of a systematic campaign of forced displacement, destruction and acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
In the report submitted to the UN General Assembly, Albanese described the “long-term, intentional, state-organized forced displacement and replacement” of Palestinians, particularly following its escalation of violence after Oct. 7, 2023.
The report focused on “genocidal intent, contextualizing the situation within a decades-long process of territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing aimed at liquidating the Palestinian presence in Palestine.”
