U.S. Condemns UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for Antisemitism, Calls for UN Defunding
Oct 26, 2024, 05:39 PM
The United States has issued a strong condemnation of UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, stating she is unfit for her role or any role within the United Nations. This follows repeated criticisms from the Biden administration regarding Albanese's alleged antisemitism and her controversial statements, including claims that the US is 'subjugated by the Jewish lobby' and her remarks to a Hamas crowd supporting resistance against Israel. Albanese also made remarks downplaying the antisemitic nature of the October 7th events. Representative Andre Carson plans to bring Albanese to Capitol Hill for a staff briefing, a move that has sparked significant backlash. Representative Rudy Yakym has highlighted the UN's longstanding anti-Israel bias and warned that continued undermining of Israel's right to self-defense could lead to the withdrawal of US support and funding for the UN. Some have called for the UN to be defunded.
