The UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has lashed out at Israel and its supporters. Torture has become “de facto state policy” in Israel,” Albanese told the UN Human Rights Council on Monday as she presented a report. “Israel has effectively been given a license to torture Palestinians because most of your governments, your ministers, have allowed it,” she continued.

Israel sharply criticized Albanese. She is “not a defender of human rights, she is a creator of chaos,” said the Israeli mission in Geneva. “Every document she writes is nothing more than a politically charged, activist hate tirade.” Albanese promotes “dangerous extremist narratives to undermine the very existence of the State of Israel.”
