Francesca Albanese, in a recent address, accused Israel of genocide, apartheid, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, allegations that Israel firmly rejects. Albanese also referenced suicides among Israeli soldiers while discussing the broader impact of the conflict. She acknowledged the October seventh attack by Hamas on Israel, describing it as horrific and recognizing that crimes were committed against Israeli civilians. Emphasizing that civilians should never be targeted, Albanese argued that Israel's military response and ongoing policies are the primary concern in the conflict.
