NEW YORK, Sunday, June 30, 2024 (WAFA) -  The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese said she does not understand why the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor has not yet requested an arrest warrant against Israel's far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich.

The UN Special Rapporteur accused Smotrich of being a key mastermind of Israel's genocidal policies against the Palestinians.

This came in response to the Israeli Cabinet's approval of the Smotrich plan, which includes the legalization of five settlement outposts in the West Bank.

“Even considering the significant political pressure on the ICC, I really don't understand why the ICC Prosecutor has not yet requested an arrest warrant against this man, who is a key mastermind of Israel's genocidal policies against the Palestinians,” she said in a post on X.
