Francesca Albanese speaks to Redi Tlhabi on sexual violence in opposition to Palestinians by Israeli forces and its protection.

However the allegations have been documented for years by human rights teams and Palestinian organisations. So why does the world solely appear to concentrate when a Western information organisation does?
This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with UN Particular Rapporteur Francesca Albanese about sexual violence, Israeli impunity – and the double requirements of Western consideration.
