Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territories, has responded to footage shared online showing an Israeli armoured vehicle in Jenin driving past ambulances with an injured Palestinian man strapped to the hood.

• “It is flabbergasting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to turn international law literally on its head,” she said in a post on X.

• “This risks being the end of multilateralism, which for some influential member states no longer serves any relevant purpose,” Albanese added.
