Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian Territories, has called on countries to impose a full arms embargo as well as cut off trade and financial ties with Israel, which she alleged is waging a \u201cgenocidal campaign\u201d in Gaza.
\n\u201cIsrael is responsible for one of the cruellest genocides in modern history,\u201d Albanese said in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council.
\nThe UN expert was presenting her latest report, which named more than 60 companies she accuses of being involved in supporting Israeli illegal settlements and military actions in Gaza.
\n\u201cWhat I expose is not a list, it is a system, and that is to be addressed,\u201d she told the council. \u201cWe must reverse the tide,\u201d she added, calling for states to impose a full arms embargo, suspend all trade agreements and ensure companies face legal consequences for their involvement in violations of international law.
\nIsrael\u2019s diplomatic mission in Geneva earlier this week said Albanese\u2019s latest report was \u201clegally groundless, defamatory and a flagrant abuse of her office\u201d. Its delegate was not present in the room in line with a new policy to disengage with the council, which Israel says has an anti-Semitic bias.<\/p>\n
