Francesca Albanese, a U.N. special rapporteur, was sanctioned by the U.S. for allegedly targeting U.S. and Israeli nationals for prosecution in the International Criminal Court. Albanese, who critiques Israel's military actions in Gaza, had previously stated that there were grounds for genocide charges against Israel. The U.S. Secretary of State accused her of antisemitism following her actions related to the ICC. The ICC had also issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials regarding alleged war crimes. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with a high number of Palestinian deaths reported.
Albanese has directly engaged with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel.
Albanese called for the International Criminal Court to prosecute executives at American companies allegedly profiting from the war in Gaza.
Albanese deemed Israel's conduct in Gaza to have 'reasonable grounds' to meet the specific legal definition of genocide.
The ICC issued arrest warrants in November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for alleged 'crimes against humanity and war crimes.'
