The UN expert criticized the western media for covering up the Israeli riots in Amsterdam

A UN legal expert has called on the Western media to be investigated for "covering up" coverage of the riots sparked on Friday by supporters of the Israeli regime in the Dutch city of Amsterdam.

In a post on the X network, formerly Twitter, Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of justice in the occupied Palestinian territory, said that the Western media has repeatedly spread false information that has helped to hide the atrocities being committed. and Israelis around the world.

The Italian international lawyer said: "Once again, the Western media should be investigated for covering up Israeli atrocities."

The legal scholar, researcher, and writer specializing in human rights issues said that journalists who spread false news are involved in Israeli crimes and should be held accountable 

He has said that international courts have found journalists guilty of sedition and other international crimes. The UN expert's call has come after some Western media outlets failed to report or condemn the crimes of Israeli thugs who pretended to be Maccabi Tel Aviv fans before and during the riots on Thursday and Friday 

When they arrived in the Dutch capital before the match, online videos showed so-called Israeli football fans tearing down Palestinian flags that were flying in residents' homes 

Maccabi faced Eredivisie side Ajax Amsterdam on Thursday, where they were beaten 5-0 by the Dutch team in the city's main stadium and Ajax's home ground
