The United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, called Saturday, March 4, for an investigation on Israeli occupation crimes against the Palestinian people.

Albanese said in an interview with the BBC that the investigation is necessary to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes and put an end to its impunity.

Albanese’s comments come after six European countries issued a joint statement calling on the Israeli occupation to stop the Illegal settlement expansion in Palestine.

The foreign ministers of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Poland expressed grave concern over the continuation of Israeli violence across the occupied Palestinian territories.

They condemned the “arbitrary violence” practiced by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians, demanding that the perpetrators of all these acts be held accountable and prosecuted.
