From FRANCE- An interview with Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights situation in Palestine. She was heavily criticized by Israel, along with the US and France, for describing the Israeli actions in Palestine in a paper entitled "Anatomy of a Genocide." She says that the Israeli military has broken humanitarian law by distorting the principle of proportionality and killing tens of thousands of civilians- justifying the deaths by claiming they were being used as shields. She says that genocide in Palestine precedes the existence of Hamas by decades, and did not begin after October 7th. She says the war has created an unprecedented crisis in international relations and law. Then a brief report on an Israeli bombing attack on Tuesday on another UN school housing displaced Palestinians, killing dozens of people mostly civilians.
