Representatives of the United Nations Member States gathered in Geneva on Thursday to discuss the latest report of the controversial UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanian. The meeting only came two days after the American mission of the UN that called on the removal of Albanian, with reference to her “years of pattern of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias.”
In the Albanese reportentitled “From the occupation of the economy to the genocide economy”, Israel is described as “a regime of colonist-colonial apartheid”. Moreover, Albanese claims that companies have helped Israel in ‘his constant genocidal campaign in Gaza’.

Israel runs tables on UN official claim ‘Genocide’ in Gaza with basic questions
“Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history,” said Albanese while opening the session in Geneva on Thursday. She further claimed that “Israel used the genocide as an opportunity to test new weapons, adapted surveillance, deadly drones, radar systems and other unmanned technology to eradicate a people without restraint.”
Palestinian envoy for the UN in Geneva Ibrahim Khraishi had the first opportunity to respond to Albanian’s opening statement after President Jürg Lauber of the human rights council recognized that Israeli representatives were not present. Khraishi not only used his reaction to praise Albanians, but also to criticize the American mission at the UN in New York.
Khraishi praised Albanese’s report and said that “it was” a comprehensive analysis of how a professional economy became, an economy of genocide was supported by a series of transnational companies from the industry from weapons to AI and digital supervision. “

UN committee accuses Israel of ‘extermination’ in controversial report
The representative then defended Albanian and hit the US because he accused the special rapporteur of anti -Semitism, and claimed that “anti -Semites are those who support the genocidal government,” referring to Israel.
UNS -WOOGE -director Hillel Neuer was one of the few different voices against the report. In his reaction to Albanian Neuer pointed out that the report ‘Israel accused 68 times of genocide’.
“Israel has fought a righteous war against a terrorist army, which cynically encountered civilians. Mrs. Albanese is not a genocide, but in your report there is no war at all, it’s only about Israel,” Neuer said. He then disputed the omission of the report of Hamas’s attacks on October 7, 2023.

“Her allegations that Israel commits ‘genocide’ and deals with ‘apartheid’ are incorrect and offensive. Israel is fighting a legitimate war to defend himself,” Meron added. “Nevertheless, Albanian deliberately and systematically leaves any mention of the existence of Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis, or the struia of Rockets on Israel, launched by Iran. She helps Iran and his terrorist proxy’s in promoting a story and the suffering of the conductors.”

Hamas ‘Serious’ about reaching cease-fire agreement, but insists that long-term requirements
In addition to her conviction of companies with ties with Israel, the Albanian also focused on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) supported by the US and Israeli, which she described as “nothing but a fatal fall that is motivated and the flight of a hungry, bombarded, bombered, gemed, gemed, gemed.” ” This sentiment was reflected by Khraishi, who also referred to the GHF as a “fall”.
The GHF, who has the support of the Trump government, has repeatedly pushed back against critics, including the UN, and has encouraged them to participate in the goal of providing help to the Palestinian people in a way that prevents Hamas to steal it.
On Tuesday, the American mission to the UN again expressed his concern about Albanians and published a statement in which she was called for removal and repeating her opposition against her reappointment earlier this year.
“In recent weeks, Mrs. Albanese has escalated her many years of pattern of virulent anti-Semitism and inexorable anti-Israel bias by sending threatening correspondence to dozens of entities worldwide, including large American companies,” “” The statement of the American mission reads. “These letters promote deeply poor legal arguments to support extreme and unfounded accusations that these organizations are complicit in gross human rights violations, apartheid and genocide. These letters also form an unacceptable campaign of political and economic warfare against the American and global economy.”

Official UN reappointed despite accusations of anti -Semitism
In the past, Albanian was also convicted by France and Germany because of her statements about Israel, some of which are criticized as anti -Semitic.
In February 2024, Albanian was convicted by France and Germany after he said that French President Emmanuel Macron was wrong to call Hamas’ 7 October events’ the greatest anti -Semitic massacre of our century ‘. In her response, she said: “The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel’s oppression.”

France said that Albanian seemed to “justify” the attacks and that her comments were “all the more susceptible in view of the fact that the fight against anti -Semitism and all forms of racism form the core of the establishment of the UN,” ” According to the ADL.
