Israel is seeking to make Gaza City “unliveable,” according to United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, who accused the country of deliberately targeting civilians as part of what she called “ethnic cleansing.”
Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian rights, told reporters that Israeli operations in Gaza have destroyed essential infrastructure and left residents without access to basic necessities.
“This is the last piece of Gaza that needs to be rendered unliveable,” she said, warning that both Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages remain at risk.
Israeli officials reject Albanese’s allegations, insisting their military campaign targets Hamas militants in response to the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Israel maintains that it has warned civilians to move to designated humanitarian zones in southern Gaza, arguing these measures demonstrate efforts to minimize harm.
“Our goal is to defeat Hamas, not target civilians,” an Israeli government spokesperson stated.
Albanese’s comments have drawn criticism from Israel and the United States, with the latter imposing sanctions on her for actions related to International Criminal Court proceedings.
The Israeli government contends that accusations of “ethnic cleansing” require proof of intent, which they deny.
The United Nations and humanitarian groups continue to express concern over forced displacement and dire living conditions in Gaza.
As the conflict continues, debate intensifies over whether Israel’s actions amount to collective punishment or legitimate self-defense. Both sides remain entrenched, while civilians in Gaza face mounting hardship.
Between Accountability and Military Necessity: Examining UN Expert Francesca Albanese’s Gaza City Assessment
The latest statements by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese regarding Israel’s operations in Gaza City have reignited international debate over the conduct of military operations in densely populated areas. Her stark accusation that Israel seeks to make Gaza City “unliveable” as part of broader “ethnic cleansing” efforts represents a fundamental challenge to how the international community interprets the ongoing conflict. Yet these claims exist within a complex web of competing narratives, legal frameworks, and operational realities that demand careful examination.
The Rapporteur’s Case
Albanese’s assessment, delivered at a Geneva press conference, presents a sweeping indictment of Israeli military strategy. Her claim that Israel is “bombing using unconventional weapons” to forcibly evacuate Palestinians from “the last piece of Gaza that needs to be rendered unliveable” suggests a systematic campaign targeting civilian infrastructure and population centers. This framing places Israeli actions within the legal category of ethnic cleansing—defined under international law as the deliberate removal of ethnic or religious groups from specific territories through force or intimidation.
The timing of Albanese’s statements is significant. Gaza City, the enclave’s largest urban center and traditional seat of Hamas governance, has indeed borne the brunt of Israeli military operations since the conflict’s escalation. The systematic targeting of government buildings, infrastructure, and residential areas has transformed much of the city into what observers describe as an uninhabitable landscape of rubble and destruction.
Albanese’s concern for Israeli hostages adds another dimension to her critique. By arguing that the “ongoing assault to take the last remnant of Gaza will not only devastate the Palestinians but endanger also the remaining Israeli hostages,” she challenges the Israeli narrative that military pressure facilitates hostage recovery. This perspective suggests that intensive bombardment may actually complicate rescue efforts and endanger the very lives Israel claims to be protecting.
The Israeli Military Rationale
Israel’s stated objectives present a markedly different interpretation of the same military operations. Israeli officials consistently frame Gaza City operations within the context of legitimate self-defense following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks that killed approximately 1,200 people and resulted in 251 hostages being taken. From this perspective, the extensive damage to Gaza City represents not intentional civilian targeting but the inevitable consequence of urban warfare against an adversary that deliberately embeds military assets within civilian infrastructure.
The Israeli military doctrine in Gaza operates on several key assumptions. First, Hamas has transformed Gaza City into a fortress-like environment with extensive tunnel networks, weapons storage facilities, and command centers deliberately positioned beneath hospitals, schools, and residential buildings. Second, the only way to eliminate this infrastructure and prevent future attacks is through comprehensive military operations that necessarily involve significant destruction of the urban environment.
Israeli officials argue that their establishment of “humanitarian zones” and advance warnings to civilians demonstrate intent to minimize civilian casualties rather than target civilian populations. The evacuation orders, from this perspective, represent efforts to separate combatants from non-combatants in an environment where such distinction has been deliberately obscured by Hamas’s tactical approach.
This military rationale faces its own limitations and contradictions. The practical impossibility of evacuating over one million people from their homes raises questions about whether such operations can ever truly minimize civilian harm. The conditions in designated “safe zones” have been widely criticized as inadequate, with shortages of food, water, medical supplies, and shelter creating humanitarian crises that some argue constitute forms of collective punishment.
Legal Framework Complexities
The legal analysis of these operations reveals the complexity of applying international humanitarian law to contemporary urban warfare. The principle of distinction—requiring parties to distinguish between civilian and military targets—becomes extraordinarily difficult when military assets are embedded within civilian infrastructure. The principle of proportionality demands that expected civilian harm not be excessive compared to anticipated military advantage, but calculating this balance in real-time combat situations involves subjective judgments that different observers may reach different conclusions about.
Albanese’s use of terms like “ethnic cleansing” and the broader genocide allegations mentioned in her work invoke specific legal standards under international law. Ethnic cleansing requires demonstrating intent to permanently remove specific populations from territories. Genocide demands proof of intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group “in whole or in part.” These are among the most serious accusations in international law, requiring evidence not just of devastating consequences but of specific intent to achieve these outcomes.
Israeli legal defenders argue that military operations aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure, even when they result in massive civilian displacement and casualties, do not meet these legal thresholds if the primary intent is military rather than demographic. They point to Israel’s acceptance of Palestinian citizens within Israel proper and previous withdrawals from occupied territories as evidence contradicting genocidal intent.
Critics counter that the scale and systematic nature of destruction, combined with statements by some Israeli officials about Gaza’s future, suggest intentions that go beyond legitimate military objectives. The debate often centers on whether intent can be inferred from consequences and patterns of behavior, or whether it requires explicit statements and documentary evidence.
The Credibility Question
Albanese’s role as UN Special Rapporteur provides her with significant institutional authority, but it also places her at the center of broader debates about UN bias and effectiveness in addressing Middle Eastern conflicts. The United States’ decision to sanction her for what Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as “prompting illegitimate prosecutions of Israelis at the International Criminal Court” reflects deep skepticism about her neutrality and methodology.
These credibility challenges extend beyond personal criticism to fundamental questions about how international institutions can effectively monitor and assess conflicts where access is restricted and information is heavily contested. Albanese’s inability to visit Gaza directly means her assessments rely heavily on remote monitoring, witness testimony, and analysis of available evidence—methods that, while standard in human rights work, create opportunities for both defenders and critics to question conclusions.
The broader context of UN involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts also shapes reception of Albanese’s work. Israel and its supporters frequently cite what they view as systematic bias within UN institutions, pointing to the disproportionate number of resolutions targeting Israel compared to other countries with significant human rights challenges. This institutional history creates a framework where Albanese’s conclusions, regardless of their factual basis, become part of larger political narratives about international legitimacy and bias.
Humanitarian Reality on the Ground
Beyond legal and political debates lies the humanitarian reality experienced by Gaza’s civilian population. The statistics are staggering: according to local authorities, more than 64,000 people have been killed during the nearly two-year campaign. These numbers, while disputed by some Israeli officials who question the methodology and distinction between civilian and combatant casualties, represent an unprecedented scale of destruction and loss of life.
The destruction of civilian infrastructure—hospitals, schools, residential buildings, water treatment facilities, and power plants—has created conditions that meet any reasonable definition of making areas “unliveable.” Whether this constitutes evidence of intentional civilian targeting or represents the collateral damage inevitable in intensive urban warfare becomes a question not just of legal interpretation but of moral and political judgment.
International humanitarian organizations operating in the region describe conditions that challenge the adequacy of any humanitarian zone concept in such a densely populated and comprehensively devastated area. The inability to provide adequate shelter, medical care, food, and water to displaced populations raises questions about whether evacuation orders can ever satisfy international humanitarian law requirements when receiving areas lack capacity to sustain displaced populations.
Strategic and Political Implications
The debate over Gaza City operations extends far beyond immediate humanitarian and legal concerns to fundamental questions about conflict resolution and regional stability. Israel’s stated goal of eliminating Hamas as a military and governing force faces the practical challenge of what comes next in a devastated territory with a traumatized population.
Albanese’s characterization of current operations as ethnic cleansing implies that Israeli strategy aims to permanently alter Gaza’s demographic and political landscape. If accurate, this would represent a fundamental shift from previous Israeli approaches that, despite multiple military operations, generally allowed for eventual reconstruction and return of displaced populations.
The hostage dimension adds complexity to strategic calculations. Israel faces domestic pressure to prioritize hostage recovery, but military operations that make negotiated releases more difficult create tensions between immediate military objectives and broader strategic goals. Albanese’s warning that intensive bombardment endangers hostages reflects broader questions about whether military pressure actually facilitates diplomatic solutions or complicates them.
International Response and Future Implications
The international response to these developments reveals the limitations of existing mechanisms for addressing large-scale civilian harm in conflict situations. While numerous countries have called for ceasefires and expressed concern about civilian casualties, effective intervention remains constrained by geopolitical realities and the absence of enforcement mechanisms for international humanitarian law.
The sanctions imposed on Albanese by the United States illustrate how efforts to hold parties accountable through international legal mechanisms can themselves become subjects of political contestation. This dynamic raises questions about the future effectiveness of UN special rapporteurs and international courts in addressing conflicts where major powers have strong positions.
Looking forward, the precedents established in Gaza operations may influence how future urban warfare is conducted and evaluated. If extensive civilian displacement and infrastructure destruction become normalized as acceptable consequences of counter-terrorism operations, the practical meaning of civilian protection under international humanitarian law may be fundamentally altered.
Conclusion
The competing narratives surrounding Gaza City operations reflect broader challenges in applying international legal and moral frameworks to contemporary warfare. Albanese’s accusations of ethnic cleansing represent serious charges that demand careful investigation and response, while Israeli claims of legitimate self-defense invoke fundamental principles of state sovereignty and security.
The tragic reality is that regardless of legal determinations or political positions, the humanitarian consequences for Gaza’s civilian population are undeniable and devastating. The question facing the international community is not simply whether particular operations comply with international law, but whether existing legal and institutional frameworks remain adequate for protecting civilian populations in an era of urban warfare and asymmetric conflict.
The ultimate test of these competing perspectives may lie not in legal tribunals or political declarations, but in the long-term consequences for regional stability, civilian protection, and the credibility of international institutions charged with upholding humanitarian principles in an increasingly complex world. The stakes extend far beyond Gaza to fundamental questions about how the international community can effectively respond to large-scale civilian suffering in conflict situations where traditional peacekeeping and diplomatic approaches have proven inadequate.
As this tragedy continues to unfold, the need for accountability, humanitarian protection, and sustainable political solutions becomes increasingly urgent—regardless of which narrative ultimately prevails in international forums.
The Crossroads of Lions
Chapter 1: The Morning Briefing
The crimson dawn painted Marina Bay in shades of amber as Prime Minister Lee Wei Ming stepped into the Istana’s Crisis Management Center at 6:00 AM sharp. The secure briefing room hummed with quiet intensity—screens displaying oil futures, shipping routes, and social media sentiment analyses in real-time.
“Good morning, Prime Minister,” said Dr. Sarah Chen, the National Security Advisor, her usually composed demeanor betraying hints of concern. “The overnight developments are… significant.”
Wei Ming poured himself black coffee from the thermos—a ritual maintained even during Singapore’s gravest moments. At fifty-two, he had weathered the 2020 pandemic, the 2024 supply chain crisis, and countless diplomatic storms. But this felt different.
“Show me,” he said simply.
The main screen illuminated with satellite imagery of Gaza City, smoke plumes rising like dark prayers against the Mediterranean sky. “Israel’s ‘mighty hurricane’ began three hours ago. Early reports suggest the most intensive bombing campaign since the conflict started.”
Foreign Minister Raj Patel leaned forward. “Our embassy in Tel Aviv reports civilian casualties mounting rapidly. The UN Security Council is calling an emergency session. Malaysia and Indonesia are demanding ASEAN take a unified stance condemning Israeli actions.”
“And domestically?” Wei Ming asked, though he already knew the answer would complicate everything.
Dr. Lisa Abdullah, the Minister for Social Cohesion—a position created just two years earlier—pulled up her tablet. “Friday prayers yesterday saw the largest crowds in months. Imam Hassan at Sultan Mosque delivered what our monitors classified as a ‘passionate but not inflammatory’ sermon about Palestinian suffering. However, social media activity among young Muslims has increased 400% overnight. The hashtag #SingaporeStandsWithPalestine is trending.”
Economic Development Minister David Lim cleared his throat. “Oil futures opened at $98 per barrel, up 12% from yesterday’s close. If this escalates to involve Iran or close the Strait of Hormuz…” He didn’t need to finish. Everyone in the room understood that Singapore’s economy could contract by 8% within months.
Wei Ming walked to the window overlooking the Singapore Strait, where dozens of container ships waited their turn at the world’s second-busiest port. Each vessel represented thousands of jobs, millions in tax revenue, and Singapore’s fundamental identity as the stable hub of an unstable world.
“Gentlemen, ladies,” he said without turning around. “We’re not just managing a foreign crisis. We’re deciding what kind of nation Singapore will be for the next generation.”
Chapter 2: The Imam’s Dilemma
Across the island in Kampong Glam, Imam Hassan Ariffin finished his dawn prayers and opened his laptop to a flood of messages. At thirty-eight, he led one of Singapore’s most influential mosques, serving a congregation that included everyone from taxi drivers to bank executives, recent immigrants to fourth-generation Singaporeans.
The messages ranged from pleas for stronger religious leadership to demands that he organize protests. One particularly urgent text came from his nephew Amir, a university student: “Uncle, we can’t stay silent while Gaza burns. The youth are ready to act.”
Hassan rubbed his temples. He had studied Islamic jurisprudence at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, but no textbook had prepared him for navigating faith, politics, and social harmony in a multicultural city-state during wartime.
His phone buzzed. Dr. Abdullah’s number.
“As-salamu alaikum, Imam Hassan. Could we meet this afternoon? The government is seeking counsel from community leaders.”
“Wa alaikum salaam, Dr. Abdullah. Of course. Though I must be honest—my congregation’s pain is real, and their questions are becoming more difficult to answer.”
Three hours later, they sat in the mosque’s consultation room, overlooking the bustling Arab Street market where tourists still browsed for souvenirs, seemingly oblivious to the crisis consuming the Middle East.
“Imam, we need your help,” Dr. Abdullah said directly. “Intelligence suggests some young men are considering more than peaceful protest. Social media chatter about joining humanitarian convoys that might not be entirely humanitarian.”
Hassan nodded gravely. “I’ve heard similar concerns. But you must understand—these young people feel that Singapore’s neutrality is complicity. They see their government maintaining trade relationships with Israel while Gaza children starve.”
“What would you recommend?”
Hassan was quiet for a long moment, watching the late afternoon call to prayer approach. “Give them agency, not just sympathy. If Singapore truly stands for all its people, let us organize legitimate humanitarian aid. Let young Muslims feel they’re part of Singapore’s response, not victims of its neutrality.”
“And if they reject that path?”
“Then we face the question every multicultural society eventually confronts: whether our diversity is our strength or our breaking point.”
Chapter 3: The Banker’s Calculation
Jennifer Wu, Managing Director of Southeast Asia’s largest sovereign wealth fund, stood in her forty-second floor office overlooking Marina Bay as her team delivered the morning’s damage assessment. At forty-five, she had built her reputation on seeing around corners, anticipating market movements before others recognized the signals.
“Our Middle East portfolio is down 23% since yesterday,” reported her chief analyst. “But that’s not the real problem. If this conflict spreads, we’re looking at global recession. Our models suggest Singapore’s GDP could contract 6-12% depending on scenarios.”
Jennifer studied the projections. “What’s our exposure to energy disruption?”
“Catastrophic. We import 95% of our energy needs. If the Strait of Hormuz closes, we have perhaps three months of strategic reserves before facing shortages.”
Her secure phone rang. The Prime Minister’s office.
“Jennifer, I need your team’s analysis on economic preparation scenarios. Full brief in two hours.”
She hung up and turned to her team. “Cancel everything else today. We’re stress-testing Singapore’s economy against four scenarios: Israeli victory, regional war, frozen conflict, and miraculous peace. I want contingency plans for each.”
Her deputy, Marcus Chen, raised his hand. “Jennifer, there’s something else. Our research suggests this conflict could accelerate de-dollarization. If Middle Eastern oil producers start demanding payment in yuan or digital currencies…”
“Singapore’s role as a dollar-denominated financial hub becomes vulnerable,” she finished. “Add that to the analysis. And Marcus? Start quietly diversifying our currency holdings. If we’re wrong, we lose some yield. If we’re right, we save the republic.”
As her team dispersed, Jennifer remained at the window. Below, tourists boarded river cruises and office workers grabbed lunch from food courts, the rhythms of normal life continuing despite the crisis brewing thousands of miles away. But she knew from her years in finance that normalcy was fragile. Markets could shift in minutes. Confidence could evaporate overnight. And once lost, trust took decades to rebuild.
Chapter 4: The Student’s Awakening
Twenty-year-old Amir Hassan scrolled through his Instagram feed in the National University of Singapore library, each image from Gaza a punch to the gut. His friends from different communities—Chinese, Indian, Malay, Eurasian—sat around the same table, but the unspoken tensions were growing heavier each day.
“My father says we shouldn’t get involved in foreign conflicts,” whispered his Chinese-Singaporean friend Li Wei during a study break. “Singapore’s success comes from staying neutral.”
“Easy to say when it’s not your people dying,” Amir replied, more sharply than intended.
Priya, his Indian classmate, looked up from her economics textbook. “But Amir, what can we really do? We’re students in Singapore, not politicians in Washington or Jerusalem.”
The question haunted him. What could they do? Protest and risk arrest? Send money to Palestinian causes and potentially violate Singapore’s strict laws on foreign political activity? Stay silent and feel like collaborators in genocide?
His phone buzzed with a message from an encrypted group chat: “Meeting tonight. Real action, not just talk.”
Amir stared at the message for a long time. He thought about his uncle, the imam who preached patience and lawful conduct. He thought about his parents, who had built a successful life in Singapore through hard work and careful political neutrality. He thought about his friends around the table, each navigating their own cultural loyalties while building a shared Singaporean identity.
But mostly, he thought about the children in Gaza who would never get the chance to sit in a university library, debating their futures over textbooks and coffee.
That evening, he found himself at the void deck of a Housing Development Board flat in Jurong, surrounded by twenty other young Muslim men, most of whom he’d never seen before. The organizer, who introduced himself only as “Brother Ahmad,” spoke in urgent, passionate tones about Islamic duty and Singapore’s betrayal of its Muslim citizens.
“While we study and work and pay taxes,” Ahmad declared, “our brothers and sisters die. And our government counts the trade profits.”
“What are you proposing?” asked another student.
Ahmad’s eyes gleamed. “Direct action. International solidarity. There are ways to help that don’t require government permission.”
Amir felt his heart racing. This was the moment his uncle had warned him about—when righteous anger could lead to dangerous choices. But looking around the room at faces filled with the same grief and frustration he felt, he wondered if dangerous choices weren’t sometimes necessary.
Chapter 5: The Crossroads
Two weeks later, Prime Minister Lee Wei Ming stood before Parliament to address the nation. The crisis had deepened—Iranian missiles had struck Israeli cities, oil prices hit $140 per barrel, and Singapore’s first communal violence in decades had erupted after a peaceful pro-Palestinian rally turned ugly.
“Honorable Members of Parliament, fellow Singaporeans,” he began, his voice steady despite the weight of the moment. “We stand at a crossroads that will define our nation’s character for generations to come.”
In the gallery, Imam Hassan sat with other religious leaders, having spent sleepless nights counseling young men like his nephew, who had ultimately chosen to work within Singapore’s system rather than against it. Jennifer Wu watched from the financial district, her team having successfully navigated the market turmoil but knowing worse might come. Dr. Abdullah monitored social media sentiment in real-time, watching the nation’s multicultural fabric strain but not yet tear.
“The conflict in Gaza has tested every value we hold dear,” Wei Ming continued. “Our commitment to racial and religious harmony. Our dedication to economic prosperity. Our role as a neutral hub in an interconnected world. Some have suggested we must choose: between moral clarity and pragmatic survival, between supporting our Muslim citizens and maintaining our diverse society, between principled action and prudent restraint.”
He paused, looking directly at the gallery where community leaders sat.
“I reject the premise that these are incompatible choices. Singapore’s strength has never come from choosing sides, but from building bridges. Today, I announce the Singapore Gaza Humanitarian Initiative—$200 million in aid to Palestinian civilians, delivered through trusted international partners. We will also host peace talks if requested by all parties, offering our neutral ground for dialogue.”
“But,” his voice grew firmer, “we will not allow foreign conflicts to divide our society. Any individual or organization that seeks to use this crisis to promote violence, hatred, or communal discord will face the full force of Singapore’s laws.”
In the weeks that followed, as the Middle East conflict eventually subsided into another frozen ceasefire, Singapore’s response became a case study taught in universities worldwide. Not as a perfect solution—there was no such thing—but as proof that diverse societies could weather external storms without losing their essential character.
Amir Hassan completed his degree and joined Singapore’s foreign service, specializing in Middle East affairs. Imam Hassan’s mosque became a model for interfaith dialogue, hosting regular conversations between different religious communities. Jennifer Wu’s economic preparations helped Singapore emerge stronger from the crisis, while Dr. Abdullah’s social cohesion programs were adopted by other multicultural nations.
Epilogue: The Lion’s Roar
Five years later, Prime Minister Lee Wei Ming walked the same path around Marina Bay that he had taken during the crisis. Singapore’s skyline had grown even taller, its economy even more diversified, its society more resilient.
The Israel-Hamas conflict had eventually ended not through military victory but through exhaustion and international pressure. The Palestinian state that emerged was fragile and imperfect, but it existed. Israel remained secure but scarred. The Middle East continued its complex dance between war and peace.
But Singapore had learned something invaluable: that its strength lay not in avoiding difficult choices, but in making them wisely. That neutrality without principles was merely cowardice, but principles without pragmatism were mere vanity.
As the evening call to prayer drifted across the city from Sultan Mosque, mixing with the temple bells from Chinatown and the church chimes from the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Wei Ming smiled. The sound was uniquely Singaporean—diverse voices creating harmony without losing their individual character.
In a world increasingly divided by tribal loyalties and ancient hatreds, the small island nation had proven something important: that it was possible to care deeply about justice while building bridges instead of walls, to maintain principles while adapting to reality, to be a lighthouse in stormy seas rather than another ship lost in the darkness.
The Merlion, Singapore’s mythical guardian, stood watch over the harbor as it had for decades—half fish, half lion, entirely committed to protecting the crossroads where East met West, where different peoples chose to build something greater than the sum of their parts.
In the end, that was Singapore’s greatest strength: not the absence of challenges, but the wisdom to meet them as one people, many voices, singing in harmony.
