UN expert Albanese rejects obscene' US sanctions for criticising Israel
Briefly

Francesca Albanese criticized the US sanctions imposed on her, calling them obscene and indicative of her pursuit of justice regarding Israel's actions in Gaza. She asserted that her activism would continue undeterred by these penalties, comparing US tactics to intimidation tactics. Albanese highlighted the severity of atrocities committed in Gaza and linked them to corporate interests supporting Israel. She recently released a report detailing corporations complicit in the displacement of Palestinians. While she is assessing the impact of the sanctions, her concerns pale in comparison to the challenges faced by Palestinians.
Albanese condemned the US sanctions as obscene and asserted that she is being targeted for speaking out against Israel's actions in Gaza.
She stated that these penalties will not deter her efforts to advocate for justice and uphold international law regarding the situation in Gaza.
Albanese likened the US tactics to Mafia intimidation techniques, arguing that sanctions are only effective if they instill fear that silences dissent.
The UN rapporteur emphasized that her criticism of Israel stemmed from its ongoing genocide and war crimes against Palestinians.
