The video of her saying „Israel is the enemy of humanity“ is fake and was spread by a notorious propaganda page. But the issue with her figure remain, she is extremely polarized and biased when she is supposed to be absolutely impartial

The article reports growing pressure from several European governments for the resignation of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese over recent anti-Israel remarks.
The controversy intensified after comments she made at a forum organized by Al Jazeera, where she referred to a „Common enemy“ enabling what she calls Israel’s „Genocide“ in Gaza. Critics interpreted this as referring to Israel itself, which she denied, saying she meant a broader global system.
**The Czech Republic, Germany, France, Austria, and Italy** publicly criticized her remarks, with some calling her position „Untenable“ and demanding her resignation. The United States had already called for her removal previously, accusing her of antisemitism and support for terrorism.
A few of Albanese’s, an official UN rapporteur, notable statements outside of this one:
* Expressed doubt about reports of rape and sexual violence during the Hamas attack. (Related new article: [Freed Hostage Arbel Yehoud was sexually abused ‚almost every day in captivity‘](https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/02/13/freed-hostage-arbel-yehoud-was-sexually-abused-almost-every-day-in-captivity/))
* Said Israel had no right to self-defense immediately after the Hamas invasion.
* Suggested Israelis abroad should be “considered suspect” and investigated.
* Called for halting pharmaceutical exports to Israel.
* Described Israel as a “genocidal society.”
* Said at a Harvard event that when Hamas refers to killing “Jews” (Yahudi), they do not literally mean Jews.
* Dismissed accusations that UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 massacre as “fallacious,” despite reported evidence.
* Shared a cartoon criticized as echoing antisemitic tropes (depicting a global spiderweb associated with money and weapons).
Albanese remains the only UN rapporteur in the UN’s history to be widely condemned for antisemitism, and is actually sanctioned in the US. But the UN „Human rights“ Council keeps appointing her.
Interesting to note some of the member states of the council have included China, Cuba, Egypt, Eritrea, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Venezuela among others.

If the UN tolerate people like her, so open about her anti-Israel opinions, imagine what’s not in the open.
We can’t simultaneously try to defend the necessity of the UN (which is critical to manage a chaotic global environment) and having said UN’s institutions be so hypocritical about Israel, women and minority rights etc…
Albanese is a shame kick her out yesterday.
How can she deny it? Didn’t she make those remarks at a public forum? Is there a video of the event?
