Geneva, December 13 (RHC)-- At the Geneva United Nations headquarters, a panel of experts held a news conference and called for a halt to direct arms transfers to Israel, and a review of Israel’s UN membership over its genocide in Gaza. 

United Nations special rapporteur Ben Saul told reporters: “If lawlessness on this scale and of this extremity has no consequences, then it sends a signal to everybody else that you can behave in the same way, and the whole system begins to break down. … Germany and the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel.  They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians.”
