UN official reappointed despite accusations of antisemitism

Francesca Albanese, the controversial United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine, has been reappointed for another three-year term despite accusations of antisemitism. Multiple countries and organizations have condemned Albanese over her history of antisemitic remarks. The U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) committee tasked with reviewing complaints about Albanese was convinced by her 'detailed explanations' that she was not an antisemite. U.N. Watch and the U.S. mission to the U.N. have both opposed her reappointment, with the U.S. mission stating that she has violated the U.N.'s Code of Conduct and is unfit for her role. The House Foreign Affairs Committee also expressed its opposition, stating that Albanese uses her position to promote antisemitic tropes and serve as a Hamas apologist.
