Albanese: the Israeli army is the most depraved army

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, April 19 (YPA) – The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, on Sunday described the Israeli military as “one of the most depraved armies,” amid ongoing Israeli violations against Palestinians, including children and their property.

Albanese wrote in a post on X, attached to a video showing Israeli soldiers mistreating a Palestinian child: “I have seen enough to say it with absolute certainty: the Israeli army is the most depraved army.”

In an interview with The Guardian, Albanese said her life has become “a rollercoaster” after receiving death threats and facing sanctions for accusing “Israel” of committing genocide in the war on Gaza Strip.

The UN Rapporteur explained that what has been happening in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, reveals a flaw in the international system that allows widespread violations to occur without accountability, noting that she was among the first international officials to use the term “genocide” to describe Israeli policies.
