Israeli envoy Danny Danon accused U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese of "witchcraft" during a General Assembly session on Tuesday, following her report that described the Gaza war as a "live-streamed genocide" and accused world powers of complicity. Albanese outlined measures that she said states must take to end the Israeli occupation during a briefing to the General Assembly's Third Committee in New York.

She said, "States must ensure a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, a complete Israeli withdrawal from every inch of the occupied Palestinian territories, and the dismantling of settlements." In her report, Albanese details dozens of other states that continue to trade in weapons and surveillance technology field-tested on Palestinians. It also described the events in Gaza as the first live-streamed settler-colonial genocide.

"Only justice can heal the wounds that political expedience has allowed to fester," the report stressed. She further called for "investigations into all who served in the Israeli army during this genocide, and prosecutions where necessary." The Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed the report, describing it as exposing "international complicity" in Israel's legally documented crimes.
