Palestinians search for survivors in the rubble of a building in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip on October 31, 2023, amid relentless Israeli bombardment of the Palestinian enclave. — AFP picWASHINGTON, Nov 1 — The UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran said yesterday that the Israel-Hamas war has emboldened “repression” inside the country, whose ruling clerics have championed the Palestinian militants.
