US Imposes Sanctions on UN Human Rights Investigator Examining alleged Israeli War Crimes in Gaza

The United States imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese on Wednesday, targeting the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories. Albanese has been an ardent critic of Israel’s military actions in Gaza and has described the Israeli war as a genocide. Consequently, the US accused her of “unabashed antisemitism and support for terrorism” following her calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and condemnation of countries allowing Netanyahu to enter their airspace despite being wanted by the International Criminal Court.
