«The genocide he has committed in Gaza is much more horrible than what has been said so far» denounced Albanese.

The special rapporteur of the United Nations (UN) Francesca Albanese, denounced on Monday the silencing of the Western media on Israel’s crimes in the Gaza Strip.

“What does Israel not want international journalists to see? The genocide she has committed in Gaza is far more horrific than what has been said so far,” reported Francesca Albanese on social network X.

«Humanity, wake up!» added Albanese and argued that the fact that the Western media no longer talks about the Genocide of Israel in Gaza and the oppression of Palestinians anywhere under the Israeli government does not mean that genocide and oppression have ceased”.

Albanese shared in his message a statement by the Foreign Press Association denouncing the ban on access to Gaza for international journalists and asking about what Israel does not want them to see in Palestinian territory.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that at least 38,000 Palestinians have died since the start of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza on 7 October 2023.

Western media have been held responsible for having a pro-Israel bias for decades during Israel’s deadly attacks on Gaza.
