Situation in the Middle East: UN rapporteur on the Gaza war: “Staring into the abyss”

Human rights expert Francesca Albanese expects further radicalization as a result of the Gaza war. Their warnings had not been listened to in the past. Your prognosis is bleak.

The UN human rights expert Francesca Albanese has warned of a further escalation of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in view of the Gaza war. Israel’s attempt to eliminate the Islamist Hamas in response to its deadly October 7 attack is likely to only lead to further radicalization and is also unlawful, she told the Guardian.

The international community is now facing a whirlwind because it has not heeded the concerns of those who, like themselves, have criticized Israel’s “systematic suppression of Palestinian human rights.” “We raised the alarm in the international community, the human rights community, but no one really listened,” Albanese said.

The Italian lawyer is the UN Human Rights Council’s rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Israeli government accuses it of being biased in favor of the Palestinians.

“We have now reached a dangerous point of no return and the chances of peaceful coexistence have plummeted over a cliff. We are indeed staring into an abyss,” she said. Albanese also expressed doubts that Hamas could be wiped out. The Islamist organization is “not just a military presence, but a political reality.”
