March 21, 2026 - A United Nations expert says Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale “that suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent”.
In a report released on Friday, Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, said that since October 7, 2023, Palestinians in custody “have been subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse”.
Entitled “Torture and genocide”, the report “examines Israel’s systematic use of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territory since October 7, 2023”. It claimed that “torture in detention has been used on an unprecedented scale as punitive collective vengeance”.
