US sanctions UN human rights expert investigating Israeli abuses in Gaza • FRANCE 24 English
unabashed anti-semitism and support for terrorism. Those are just some of the accusations leveled at the UN’s special raorur on human rights Franchesca Albanazi by the US. The Italian lawyer is an outspoken critic of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza. She has called for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN expert criticized several European countries for allowing the Israeli prime minister to fly through their airspace. The governments of Italy, France, and Greece must explain why they provided airspace and safe passage to ICC wanted Byamin Netanyahu whom they are obligated to arrest. A recent report of hers also accused multinational companies of benefiting from genocide is because the economy of the occupation has turned into an economy of genocide. And so there have been people and organizations that have profited from the violence, the killing, the maming, the destruction in Gaza. As a result of her criticisms, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday announced he is imposing sanctions on Albanzi. Her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt ICC action against US and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanz’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated. We will always stand by our partners in their right to self-defense. These sanctions will likely block Albanazy’s entry to the US and any asset she has there. While the special reporter is mandated by the United Nations to investigate certain topics, she is independent of the organization. This is not the first time the Trump administration has targeted those critical of Israel. The White House sanctioned four ICC judges in June after they issued the arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. No reassess.
The US on Wednesday said it is sanctioning Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, after failing to have her removed from the international body over her investigation of Israel’s human rights violations in Gaza. Albanese, a human rights lawyer, has repeatedly called Israel’s campaign a “genocide” and supported the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Another Italian, Jew hating Catholic. Nothing new or surprising.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences
That sanctions are long overdue! Albanese is completely single-sided.
She's an exceptional human being, and what the US government is doing is absolutely disgraceful.
Those who kill people and humanity are defended while those who defend life, national sovereignty and humanity are punished. Is this called a law, it's really biased!
She is an amazing human on the right side of history..
Lacking majorly!!!
She could have helped innocent Gazans by coordinating a Gazan refugee program at the outset of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Iran backed Hamas.
But why not Ms. Albanese?
Its a shame after 2 wars US saved Europe , Europe turn against US and try to be friends with Islam and China worst enemy of democracy and America .Shame.
what an incredible woman she is. Francesca is a wonderful, honest, brave, and very professional person who deserves appreciation and respect.
She need to be arrested now
Francesca Albanese is not a lawyer she did not take the bar she lied on her application at the UN special rapporteur.
She is an international liar .
Where is the freedom of expression that Trump talks about?
So Albanese upset the chosen ones?
Why? "Investigating human rights abuses by israel in Gaza" should be obvious
She is not a layer ,she is a lair
The italian lawyer Albanese should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
Good get the evil globalist jihadist romanticiser and United Nations out 🤡👹
Marco Rubio has no place in this country and should consider leaving if he doesn't concur with the will of the people.
She is acuused of being antisemitic
Buy not telling lies
Isn't it odd🤔😨
FA your nation also allowed Bibi pass 😊 what will you do about that ? 😅
We are all Francesca Albanese
All Trump can do is keep putting us on the wrong side in everything because that’s all he is.
She is not a lawyer. She has no degree.
Works for the dark side
This Francesca Albanese is truly bad. She has a hidden agenda to always target Israel. She's fuelling anti-semitism, she ought to be ashamed of herself.
Outspoken biassed reports 😅
Whats your cut darling
Put her in jail.
If you dont like usa then don't visit or take their money. Accept the sanctions
It was okay to sanction African Countries and now they are sanctioning the UN
If UN is really concerned about human human rights why doesn't it take any action against the massacre of Christians by Islamic terrorists all over the world, especially in Nigeria?
I don’t want any of my tax dollars to fund the UN anti Semites
😂😂😂😂 time to get her in prison
I was curious about this as the report sites very few reasons the U S. Gave as to why. Turns out she's as biased as they come. So biased against Israel that a Swiss University canceled a panel she was going to have on the subject because of the blatant bias. The report she presented to the U.N. Is just as biased in its format and in the information it presents and the information it leaves out. She has also actively targeted U.S. businesses that have worked with Israel in an attempt to negatively impact them for their support of Israel. Not to mention shes grievous liar who claims to be a lawyer when in fact she has not a recognized lawyer as she never completed the necessary requirements.
There's always two sides to a story. If something seems suspicious, it's normally because there's alot of information being left out.
She has been abusing her position . Her report is heavily one sided , she does not mention Hamas ,Hizbolla , Houtis or sponsor Iran . She should have read what Ex President Bill Clinton said as he was there for the Camp David accord . He said The Arabs don't want peace .
I fully support the US action
7 December attacks 2023 died they investigate those attacks not forgotten here
US should insist the UN sacks her or withdraw funding
Isnt she the one who lied about her legal credentials? Heavy bias eithet way. Only ones that have profited has been Hammas.
She is big lie lady 😡😡😡 lie about Israel 😡😡😡
Defund UN
Americans Puppet of Israel Why Are You Not Ashamed ?????
Italians Why Are You Not Ashamed ??????
Meloni Why Are You Not Ashamed ?????
The UN are abusing the gazans to make money for themselves.. what is albenesees wage?
Nobody owes you any explanation.
Kick The UN Out Of America !
the same woman who kept pushing for unrealistic measures against one country? the same woman allegedly supported by qatar who sheltered the leaders of hamas? hahaha well it's her job to be a c^nt. wish she'd also be a special rapporteur on iran, china, etc and all countries that have SUCH STELLAR human rights records as well hahaha
The U.S., like any other country, can maintain diplomatic relations with another state or international organization while still declaring any individual persona non Grata and imposing sanctions if deemed hostile to its interests.
The way they talk look like they accepted bribes from the terrorists.
As Indian I usually dont agree with US. But we will always support Israel.
So She is guilty of speaking the truth! What a shame! Well she should nominated for the Nobel price
