United States Imposes Sanctions on UN Rights Investigator Examining Violence in Gaza by Israel

The United States has announced sanctions against Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, following its unsuccessful attempts to have her removed from the international organization for her investigation into Israel’s human rights abuses in Gaza. Albanese, a human rights lawyer, has repeatedly accused Israel of perpetrating “genocide” and has shown support for the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
