‘Palestinians have right to resist oppression’: UN special rapporteur

Francesca Albanese says because Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful, “it constitutes an aggression against the right of self-determination”.
“The Palestinians – like it or not – have the right to resist the oppression,” she said.
The UN special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territory was speaking remotely at a news conference for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The caveat, she said, is that this resistance has to be done “within the realm and the limits of international law; therefore, civilians cannot be targeted, killed or taken hostage”.

The UN rapporteur says the international community has failed to prevent Israel’s genocide in Gaza and now Israel is threatening to repeat its actions in the occupied West Bank.

“We have failed to honour one of the major obligations imposed on member states by the Genocide Convention, which is to prevent genocide and to punish [it],” she said.

“I see the risk of failing, once again, in the West Bank because the attacks Israel has unleashed [are] not just against Palestinians in Gaza. It is against the Palestinians as a whole. There is a need to … protect the Palestinians from what might be in some weeks or months from now another form of genocide unfolding.”

"But the romantic farming scenes belie an agenda that goes beyond fruit picking, and is in practice often about patrolling land to cement Jewish-Israeli control — on both sides of the Green Line".

At least 10 killed as Israel bombs Gaza City school, Rafah vehicle

At least 10 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed, and dozens more were injured in Israeli bombings in Gaza City and Rafah, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, which cited local sources.
Eight people were killed and several others wounded after Israeli forces targeted the Ibn al-Haytham School in the Shujayea neighbourhood east of Gaza City with a missile, Wafa reported.
Those injured were taken to the nearby al-Ahli Arab (Baptist) Hospital, the agency said.
Meanwhile, two people were killed and at least 10 were injured after an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle on a road in the al-Mawasi area opposite the Red Cross field hospital in Rafah, Wafa reported.
The two victims were transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the agency.
