The UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, strongly condemned the German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, for justifying Israel’s bombing of Palestinian civilian displacement sites in Gaza. Albanese warned of the legal consequences of supporting a state that commits international crimes.
In a statement on her page on the /X/ platform, Albanese expressed deep concern over Germany’s stance on Israel/Palestine and its dangerous implications. She called on Minister Baerbock to provide evidence for her claims and explain how targeting civilian objects justifies the massacres in Gaza.
Albanese emphasized that siding with a state committing international crimes is not just a political choice but also has legal implications. She urged for justice to prevail where politics have failed abhorrently.
The significance of standing against injustice and supporting the rights of Palestinians resonates strongly in the words of Albanese, as she calls for accountability and justice in the face of the ongoing atrocities.
