"There is no other way to define the regime that Israel has imposed on the Palestinians - which is apartheid by default -other than an open-air prison," Albanese said at a press briefing in Geneva. "By deeming all Palestinians as a potential security threat, Israel is blurring the line between its own security and the security of its annexation plan," Albanese said.
“However, we must acknowledge that most Palestinians have been convicted through a series of violations of international law, such as discrimination, persecution, and breaches of due process and for ordinary acts of life and in the exercise of legitimate civil and political rights.”
