EU ‘deeply regrets’ US decision to sanction anti-Israel UN rapporteur Albanese
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe EU says it “deeply regrets” the US decision to impose sanctions on United Nations rapporteur on Palestinian rights Francesca Albanese after she criticized Washington’s policy on Gaza.
“The European Union strongly supports the United Nations human rights system and we deeply regret the decision to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese,” says EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington was sanctioning Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel who has been accused of antisemitic and pro-terror rhetoric, in light of “her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt International Criminal Court action against US and Israeli officials, companies and executives.”
