UN special rapporteur slams Netanyahu’s actions in Tulkarem
Francesca Albanese has said the Israeli prime minister, who faces war crimes allegations at the International Criminal Court (ICC), has continued with his “unlawful actions”.
The UN special rapporteur’s remark came in a post on X that referred to Netanyahu’s takeover of a home in the occupied West Bank earlier today alongside Israeli soldiers.
“These actions are leading Israel to a troubling point in history,” Albanese wrote.
“It’s crucial for [international] law to be enforced, holding Israel accountable, starting with its leaders.”
Rights group denounces Israel’s ‘contempt’ for Palestinian children
We have another statement from Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP), which has denounced the Israeli army’s killing of two Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank today.
DCIP said the children – who, as we’ve been reporting, were killed in Jenin and Hebron – were “targeted suddenly and without warning in the back” by Israeli soldiers positioned inside armoured vehicles.
“Israeli forces have nothing but contempt for Palestinian children’s lives and systemic impunity means they will face no consequences,” said DCIP’s Ayed Abu Eqtaish.
“It is outrageous that world leaders have allowed Israel to kill Palestinian children with such cruelty with no accountability.”
Israeli forces fatally shot two Palestinian children in the back today in the occupied West Bank. Soldiers fired on both children from inside armored military vehicles.
