Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, disclosed receiving threats during her tenure compiling a report on Israel's actions in Gaza. Titled "Anatomy of a Genocide," the report, submitted to the UN Human Rights Council, drew vehement rejection from Israel. Albanese, who found evidence of genocide, highlighted Israel's violations under the international genocide convention, emphasizing the regime's intentions to physically harm Palestinians.
The report, leaked by a pro-Israeli group, has sparked controversy, coinciding with South Africa's lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice for failing to uphold commitments under the 1948 Genocide Convention. Israeli actions in Gaza, initiated after Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, have led to extensive casualties and humanitarian crises, with over 32,000 Palestinians killed and widespread suffering due to the regime's siege on the territory.
