UN Experts Refute EU Push to Oust Gaza Remarks Special Rapporteur

A UN review committee dismissed antisemitism allegations against Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, as rooted in disinformation and a doctored video. Several EU governments had urged her resignation over Gaza remarks, but the experts called the push manufactured and not a formal finding. Albanese says she did not label Israel humanity’s enemy, and the committee notes there has been no formal complaint; the matter is to be revisited at a upcoming UN Human Rights Council meeting amid broader calls for accountability, with US sanctions on Albanese noted in context.
