Trump Administration Calls on UN to Dismiss UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese over Palestine Report
New York – SABA: The administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump has officially requested the United Nations to dismiss Francesca Albanese from her role as UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, accusing her of 'antisemitism and supporting terrorism.' The demand came after Albanese published a report accusing over 60 companies—including major arms manufacturers and tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon—of supporting Israeli settlements and the genocide in Gaza. Albanese's report is scheduled to be presented on Thursday in Geneva. The U.S. Mission to the United Nations issued a statement condemning the report, accusing Albanese of launching an 'economic war' against American and international companies by exposing their involvement in the Israeli occupation's crimes in Palestine. The statement accused her of sending 'threatening letters to dozens of global entities, including major U.S. companies,' alleging their complicity in 'gross human rights violations, apartheid, and genocide.' It added that such actions constitute 'an unacceptable political and economic campaign against the U.S. and global economy,' and described her reports on Israel as 'false and offensive.' The statement further warned that 'continued failure to act will not only undermine the credibility of the United Nations but will also necessitate significant steps in response to Ms. Albanese's misconduct.' Despite U.S. objections, the United Nations reappointed Albanese to her position earlier this year. She is widely known for her strong criticisms of Israel.
