US sanctions UN Special Rapporteur for West Bank and Gaza
A concerted effort is being made by the US and Israel to silence Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, who's been investigating the abuses being perpetrated by the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people.
The genocidal Zionists are incandescent with fury at the continued solidarity with Palestine being shown by the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
The latest tactic is to have the Trump administration announce it was issuing sanctions against her.
"Albanese's campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel, will no longer be tolerated", US Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on X. "We will always stand with our partners in their right to self defense."
Rubio is one of the most pro-Zionist people ever to be appointed to the post of US secretary of state, and has received over a million dollars from Zionist lobby groups, making him one of the top recipients of pro-Israeli donations.
The sanctions announcement coincided with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, DC. Rubio and Netanyahu met on the same day that the sanctions were announced, which must suggest very close coordination.
This latest effort to target Albanese comes after recent attempts to force the UN to remove her from her post failed. The sanctions will freeze any assets Albanese has in the US, and would likely restrict her ability to travel to the US.
Albanese is an Italian citizen, and if the sanctions were fully enforced, they could also prohibit her from engaging in financial transactions within the European Union.
Albanese has been quoted as dismissing the US move as "mafia, style, intimidation techniques."
The sanctions follow her scathing report on June 30, in which she named over 60 companies, including major US technology firms like Google, Amazon and Microsoft, which she said were involved in the transformation of Israel's economy of occupation to an economy of genocide.
The report called for the International Criminal Court and national judicial systems to pursue investigations and prosecutions of corporate executives and companies. It also called on United Nations member states to pursue sanctions and asset freezes.
Albanese regularly receives death threats and endures well-orchestrated smear campaigns directed by Israel and its allies as she valiantly seeks to hold those who support and sustain the genocide accountable.
She lambastes what she calls the moral and political corruption of the world that allows the genocide to continue.
Her office has issued detailed reports documenting war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, one of which is called 'Genocide as a Colonial Erasure'.
Make no mistake; the Zionists and their US allies are persecuting Francesca Albanese because she is effective, and in sanctioning her, they're trying to stop her ability to function.
In fact, they're trying to isolate her so that it becomes thinkable that she could be imprisoned, disappeared, or even killed.
