Gaza, Francesca Albanese: “Board of Peace is theater of the absurd”

Rome, 23 January (LaPresse) – The “Board of Peace” is ‘a theatre of the absurd that is redrawing the map of Gaza, entrusting it to the wise minds of people, some of whom should be in The Hague for war crimes, and to the skilled hands of American real estate developers’. This was stated by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, speaking in the Senate at the conference “Gaza: journalists and health workers as ‘collateral” victims or disproportionately affected groups? The data speaks for itself’. In Gaza, ‘there is no truce, it does not exist. More than 450 Palestinians have died since it was declared, and they will continue to die. We should try to remember that international law obliges Israel to leave the Gaza Strip. This is the only legal thing Israel can do: leave the Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.’
