Albanese: There is a campaign of genocide being perpetrated under the pretext of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

The UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, likened Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories to the horrors of "Judgment Day," holding it responsible for "one of the most heinous crimes of genocide in modern history."

Albanese presented her report, "From an Economy of Occupation to an Economy of Genocide," which examines the economic drivers of Israel's genocide against Palestinians over the past 22 months, during a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday.

The UN rapporteur said the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories resembles "Doomsday," adding, "Israel is responsible for one of the most heinous crimes of genocide in modern history."

Albanese noted that the report reveals the economic conditions that enable Israel to displace Palestinians through destruction, isolation, and surveillance.
