The UN’s special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories urged countries to make concrete moves to stop the “genocide” in Gaza. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries who met in Colombia’s capital to discuss the Israel-Gaza war and ways that nations can try to stop Israel’s military offensive in the territory. “Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the state of Israel … and ensure its private sector does the same,” Ms Albanese said. “The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal.”
