Francesca Albanese

Francesca Albanese is a UN special rapporteur who has been critical of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. Recently, she accused Israel of treating Palestinian lives as 'expendable' after a deadly winter storm hit the enclave. The US government imposed sanctions on her over her reports, effectively removing her from the global financial system. Albanese's criticism and the sanctions have sparked international attention and debate about the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza. Her actions highlight the ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine, and the challenges of achieving peace in the region.
