Republicans seek to block the reappointment of UN official accused of antisemitism
Fox News
The House Foreign Affairs Committee urges the UN not to reappoint Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, citing antisemitic tropes and support for Hamas.
"Albanese unapologetically uses her position as a UN Special Rapporteur to purvey and attempt to legitimize antisemitic tropes, while serving as a Hamas apologist," the committee wrote in its letter. "In her malicious fixation, she has even called for Israel to be removed from the United Nations while likening Israel to apartheid South Africa." Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
The committee not only criticized Albanese but also slammed the UNHRC, saying its leaders "allowed antisemitism and anti-Americanism to thrive within, with a seeming unwillingness to hold the most egregious violators of human rights to account."
