UN official says Palestinians have 'right to resist oppression'

The UN special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territory said Palestinians "have the right to resist the oppression" of Israel's occupation.

Francesca Albanese said Israel's occupation of the occupied West Bank “constitutes an aggression against the right of self-determination”.

“The Palestinians – like it or not – have the right to resist the oppression,” she added.
