UN Expert Faces Threats After Accusing Israel of Genocide in Gaza

UN expert Francesca Albanese, who published a report suggesting Israel committed genocide in its war on Gaza, says she has received threats throughout her mandate. Israel has criticized her report, denying the accusation of genocidal violence against the Palestinian people. Albanese called for the "ongoing Nakba" to stop and accused Israel of intentionally subverting protection functions to legitimize genocidal violence. Israel's diplomatic mission in Geneva called the use of the word genocide "outrageous" and stated the war was against Hamas, not Palestinian civilians.
