"I understand the sensitivity, because none of you has really clean hands when it comes to human rights.

"That's okay, but no one has maintained an unlawful occupation violating decades of UN Security Council, General Assembly, Human Rights Council, ICJ decision & resolutions as Israel has done.

"Enough enough."

Chris Sidoti, an International human rights lawyer from Australia working as a UN investigator along with former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay, has slammed Benjamin Netanyahu for the Gaza conflict. He also shut up an Israeli reporter, who made a desperate attempt to question the latest findings on Israeli excesses by these two UN experts.

This video has the best bits from the press conference that both Sidoti and Pillay held on 30 October.

Interview: Francesca Albanese: “Genocide as Colonial Erasure: Israel’s Intent to Destroy Gaza"

"Israel’s genocide is founded on ideological hatred & dehumanization & is enabled through the various organs of the state."

Albanese "recommends Israel be unseated from the UN over its conduct". Its "continued impunity is the nail in the coffin of the UN Charter.”

Enraged Israeli & U.S. officials have charged Albanese with antisemitism.

UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese: Here's a detailed report of human rights abuses and international law violations on Gaza, which specifies how Israel is breaching the genocide convention and carrying out ethnic cleansing.

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield: You're antisemitic.

#Palestine #Gaza #UN @palestine

U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, has just presented a new report that finds Israel is committing genocide on
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The report, titled "Genocide as Colonial Erasure," recommends that Israel, like apartheid South Africa, be unseated from the U.N.

As a result, Albanese has been accused of antisemitism by U.S. and Israeli officials, a charge she rejects. "Claiming that October 7 was prompted by antisemitism is a way to
decontextualize history and to deresponsibilize Israel. I condemn Israel not because it's a Jewish state. It's not about that, but because it's in
breach of international law through and through."

Albanese is in New York to present her report, titled “Genocide as colonial erasure,” which finds that Israel’s genocide is founded on “ideological hatred” and “dehumanization” and “enabled through the various organs of the state,” and recommends that Israel be unseated from the United Nations over its conduct. She argues that Israel’s attacks on U.N. employees, including the killings of at least 230 U.N. staff in Gaza, its flagrant violations of U.N. resolutions and international law and the unique status of “the first settler-colonial genocide to be ever litigated before [an international] court” justify this unprecedented measure. Israel’s continued impunity, Albanese warns, “is the nail in the coffin of the U.N. Charter.”

#UN Sec general Guterres has called for an "immediate #humanitarian ceasefire" in the #Israel - #Gaza war.

"I call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire... to ease the epic human suffering we are witnessing," he said, "Too many lives, and the fate of the entire region hang in the balance."

From #UN Sec Gen Guterres stmt - he made two appeals - for #Hamas to release the #hostages without any conditions, and for #Israel to grant rapid and unimpeded access for £humanitarian #aid to #Gaza.

"The UN has stocks available of food, water, non-food items, medical supplies and fuel....These goods can be dispatched within hours," he said.

"Each one of these two objectives are valid in themselves. They should not become bargaining chips."

The #UN relief agency operating in #Gaza has said its shelters in the northern part of the territory "are not safe anymore" - calling it "unprecedented".

"This war should be no exception," UNRWA said in a statement. "Protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure including UN buildings applies to this conflict too."

"Wars have rules," #UNRWA said. "Civilians, hospitals, schools, clinics and UN premises cannot be a target."

The conditions in #Gaza are "fast becoming untenable," #UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said. "I fear that the worst is yet to come Humanity is failing."

So far at least five planes carrying humanitarian relief have arrived in Egypt's Sinai, Red Cross #ICRC officials said.

The #WHO said a plane carrying trauma medicines and health supplies had also landed.

The Arab Group held a meeting at the #UN and is due to meet with the sec gen later today.
The #Palestinian Ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, is demanding that the international community put pressure on #Israel to stop its aerial bombardment and to work to allow humanitarian convoys to enter the #Gaza strip, where he says Palestinians are in danger of either being killed by bombardment or starvation.

#Israel 's #UN ambo defended the #evacuation order saying it was giving an early warning to the residents of #Gaza to "minimise harm to those not involved" in its military operation against #Hamas "For many years, the UN has turned a blind eye to the arming of Hamas, its use of the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as a hiding place for its weapons and murder," Gilad Erdan said "It is better for the UN to focus now on returning the #hostages , condemning Hamas"

The #UN "strongly appeals for any such ( #evacuation ) order to be rescinded avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation".

The order also includes all UN staff and those sheltered in UN facilities which includes schools, health centres, and clinics.

The UN Security Council #UNSC is due to hold an emergency meeting today in a closed consultation format.

The #Israeli military has told the #UN that everyone living north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to southern #Gaza in the next 24 hours, acc to a UN spox

The UN says this amounts to approx 1.1 million people - about half the population of the entire Gaza Strip. The affected area includes densely populated Gaza City.

The alert was given just before midnight local time
#Israel #hamas

The #UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs #OCHA has issued an emergency appeal asking countries to provide $294m in emergency funding for the most urgent needs of #Palestinians

The funds will be used to help some 1.2m people, the agency said.

Acc to OCHA, more than 84,000 people in #Gaza became homeless on Thursday, the agency said, adding that there are now more than 423,000 people without shelter there

Good morning from London, ~ half past 8 in MENA. A recap:

The number of Israelis killed by #Hamas has risen to 1,300, with at least 150 hostages taken into Gaza

More than 1,400 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched retaliatory air strikes, w 338,000 people displaced

#Netanyahu has told parliament that "difficult days await" at the swearing in of the war cabinet

The #UN says Gaza is facing a "dire" situation with food and water quickly running out

It has passed 9 AM in #Israel and #Gaza - a quick recap:
#US is in talks with #Israel , the #UN and #Egypt on allowing aid into #Gaza , and providing safe passage out of the territory for some residents. #Blinken is due to land in Israel

Israel has massed troops near the Gaza border, which includes about 300,000 #reservist forces. It is still unclear if and when it plans to launch a ground offensive inside Gaza
( cont.)

More than 260,000 people have been displaced from their homes in #Gaza (2.3 million population) as the #Israeli military continues to bombard the #Palestinian enclave, the #UN said.

This represents the "highest number of people displaced since the 50-day escalation of hostilities in 2014"

"I do not accept targeting civilians from both sides by any means. To this retaliation in Gaza... In my mind, it's a collective punishment." - area manager of the Norwegian Refugee Council #NRC told #BBC

The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself, says a new FAO report.

Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity.

Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.

And beyond its environmental impacts, the direct economic consequences to producers of food wastage (excluding fish and seafood) run to the tune of $750 billion annually, FAO's report estimates.

"All of us - farmers and fishers; food processors and supermarkets; local and national governments; individual consumers -- must make changes at every link of the human food chain to prevent food wastage from happening in the first place, and re-use or recycle it when we can't," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.

"We simply cannot allow one-third of all the food we produce to go to waste or be lost because of inappropriate practices, when 870 million people go hungry every day," he added.
