💨 Abstract
Three independent U.N. experts examining Israel and Palestinian territories announced their resignations. Navi Pillay and Chris Sidoti cited personal and committee restructuring reasons, while Miloon Kothari did not specify. Israel has criticized the panel and refused to cooperate, as ongoing violence persists. Notably, U.S. sanctions were also recently applied to another U.N. expert on the same issue. These experts aim to highlight human rights abuses, but have no direct power over countries.
