Trump administration accuses UN Palestinian rights envoy of ‘virulent antisemitism'
- On June 20, 2025, the Trump administration submitted a letter to the United Nations urging the removal of Francesca Albanese, the UN rapporteur on Palestinian rights, accusing her of promoting virulent antisemitism and supporting terrorism.
- This request comes in the wake of Albanese’s recent report, which shifts focus from the economic impacts of occupation to framing the situation as one involving genocide, alongside her ongoing campaign accusing Israel of committing genocide and apartheid in Gaza.
- Albanese recently issued letters to leading American companies, warning them to halt operations connected to alleged human rights abuses and demanding they provide reparations to Palestinians.
- Acting U.S. representative Dorothy Shea criticized Albanese for engaging in a harmful and unjustified effort against both the U.S. and global economies, highlighting serious legal inaccuracies and falsely claimed credentials.
- The U.S. argues Albanese's conduct disqualifies her from diplomatic immunity, seeks her immediate removal, and warns continued inaction would discredit the United Nations.
