NEW YORK, February 2, 2025 (WAFA) - Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories slammed Israel's actions in the West Bank as “criminal.”

“The genocidal intent is evident in the way Israel targets the totality of the Palestinians,” she said in a post on X.

She pointed out that she had warned the UNGA about this in her last report in October 2024.

She added that the genocidal intent is evident in the way Israel targets the totality of the Palestinian people and the entirety of the occupied Palestinian territory, which Israel claims is exclusively designated for Jewish self-determination.

The UN official called on the international community to intervene and halt the ongoing destruction, which she stated has expanded to encompass all occupied territories, not just Gaza.

“It's past the time to intervene to stop it.”
