In this episode of Gaza Stories, Muneef Khan speaks with Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, about her latest report “Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime.” Albanese argues that the ongoing destruction in Gaza is not the crime of one state alone but the result of a global system of complicity – through diplomacy, arms, trade, and aid – that enables and normalises Israel’s actions.

The conversation explores how international law, political interests, and economic networks have sustained the assault on Gaza, eroding moral responsibility and legal accountability. Albanese also explains concepts like collective crime and humanitarian laundering, calling for genuine enforcement of international obligations to prevent further atrocities.
