The US Sanctions Albanese Over UN Human Rights Actions in Gaza

In a significant diplomatic maneuver, the United States has imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanesi, a UN special rapporteur—who has no relation to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese—over her calls to involve the International Criminal Court in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza. Albanesi, an Italian lawyer, has urged the UN Human Rights Council to consider actions against the US and Israel, including cutting ties and halting trade and financial relations with Israel.
