Sondos Asem – Middle East Eye Nov 12, 2025
The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused major European powers, including the UK, Italy and Germany, of complicity in the genocide in Gaza and warned that their government officials should face legal consequences.
In an interview with the Expert Witness podcast on 3 November, Albanese discussed the findings of her latest report, titled Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime, where she cited evidence of the alleged responsibility of 63 states for enabling Israeli breaches of international law.
Despite overwhelming evidence of genocide and mass atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank, Europe’s most powerful states continue to provide diplomatic, military and political cover for Israel, she told Middle East Eye.
She called out UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to acknowledge the risk of genocide and for his government’s alleged complicity in Israel’s conduct against the Palestinians.
“The UK is one of those interesting cases where the political leadership has helped manufacture consensus around the war that Israel has unleashed against the population of Gaza,” she said.
She also denounced the UK’s crackdown on Palestine Action, saying it has helped create “a climate of complicity”.
“I do not dispute that the methods used by Palestine Action might cause damage. I don’t dispute that they might trespass what is legally acceptable. But framing this as terrorism is beyond what terrorism is and constitutes,” she said.
“The fact that the government makes a deliberate choice to target civil society action as terrorism, or to go after journalists who are investigating the genocide on charges of terrorism, while continuing to support the state that uses and practises terror against a virtually defenceless population, creates a climate of complicity.”
Albanese also took aim at Germany and Italy for blocking joint EU action against Israel.
“It is a very sad coincidence that one century later, these two countries are still on the wrong side of history,” Albanese said, referring to Italy and Germany’s opposition to suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement, even as other European states, including Slovenia and Spain, have opted to impose arms embargoes and sanctions independently.
“These two countries have individually the highest responsibility to prevent genocide – particularly Germany, given its record.”
Albanese argued that Germany, “which has already brought havoc upon Europe and beyond once in history”, is again failing to prevent atrocity.
this is so good name and shame those who like trump and starmer
are in israels pocket
racist bastards
“Albanese argued that Germany, “which has already brought havoc upon Europe and beyond once in history”, is again failing to prevent atrocity.”
Which just goes to show that this female is another indoctrinated and over rated tart who needs to learn about real history not what the jews told her !!!
She is pretending. She does have that Zelenskyy look about her face. Probably related. Still, all those countries she lists are the usuall colonized, occupied fake countries.
Please include Greece in the complicity of the genocide against the indigenous Palestinians. Ms. Albanese should be the only person to get a Nobel peace price. She has not deviated from her commitment to bring peace in Palestine.
Trump’s foreign workforce to make his computer chips will first have to pass the Zionist test and be pro-Zionist. Dear Francesca is one fine lady who is no longer welcome.
Thanks to Trump.
Because of Trump.
The Chinese are not particularly pro Zionist…
all nations complicit which alowed years to
be terrorised by CIA/BBC/Reuters/Mossad
media lies + silence . civilians, women, children
bombed mutilated while moraly low scum medias
suggested their climate, sports, film entertainment
BULLSHIT .
She now believes Zionist Jews believe in ‘Eretz Israel’ from the Nile to the Euphrates and she is prepared to speak about it. And she has already been declared one of the most dangerous Zionist state haters. So I would say she’s learning fast.
Albanese is accusing ….. Whom is she working for? AHHHH, the UN aka United Nations!
What about accusing the UN as the most worthless global institution solely made up of pollitickal Korrekt but utterly good for nothing bureaucrats that sit in sessions of well paid gibberish while One Nation after another silently disappears into the void of Jewocrassy. Oztralia got another one of those “Albaneses” working hard for the demise of his homeland that was sooo kind to support his poor kosher single mum with welfare that he could grow from a bullied fence sitter to one of the most honorable PM’s of Oztralia!
Some might wish the UN (and those “leaders of nations” who send them there) would just “go away” and take all those who are miraculously catapulted into the “United” business with it.
