CGTN Europe spoke to Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories. She criticized the Israeli government's expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, calling it illegal and stressing that settler colonialism practices should have stayed in the past. Albanese expressed concern over the international community's inaction and had strong words about the repeated violations of ceasefire in Gaza. She also discussed the role of the United Nations in resolving the conflict and the risk of the UN being potentially sidelined by the US-led Board of Peace initiative.
