UN official: The Israeli and Western media are complicit in the genocide against Gaza Francesca Albania, the UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, stated that Israel is manipulating the news about the war to present a distorted picture of what is happening on the ground, along with the genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Francesca Albania, who presented the findings of her new report on Israel's genocidal crimes against Gaza, titled "The Truth Under the Ruins: Media in a Genocide Era," announced that Israel deliberately destroyed witnesses to its crimes during this war by killing journalists, destroying communications infrastructure of media personnel and harassing the families.
