Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has been among the most prominent and outspoken critics of Israel and its allies over the war in Gaza—which she’s described as a “full-fledged genocide”—and she’s made powerful enemies because of it.
The Israeli government in 2024 declared Albanese, an Italian national and a human rights lawyer, to be persona non grata and banned her from entering the country. Albanese was also sanctioned by the Trump administration this July for engaging with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its “efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel.” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Albanese of antisemitism and said she’s “unfit” for her role.
