UN Rapporteur: Pogroms in Gaza and the West Bank require arms embargo on “Israel”
WEST BANK, July 26 (YPA) – UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese said on Sunday that pogroms committed against Palestinians are not limited to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but reflect a broader approach adopted by “Israel.”
“Pogroms against defenseless civilians all over the West Bank, while Gaza is under fire,” Albanese said on US social media platform X.

She accused Israeli civilians and the army of “joining forces” in the attacks, arguing that responsibility was not limited to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or “a few rotten apples.”
“Arms embargo now — stop trade now,” Albanese said, adding that such measures are required under international law.
