US issues sanctions against UN official investigating abuses in Gaza | US foreign policy

In a statement on Wednesday, the Trump administration made sanctions against an independent official in investigating human rights violations in Palestinian regions, the United States’s final effort to punish Israel’s 21 -month war critics in Gaza.

The decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the West Bank and Gaza to the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albania is following a new pressure campaign to force the international organ to dismiss it.

Albania, a human rights lawyer, became vocal about what Israel describes as the “genocide ğı against the Palestinians in Gaza. Both Israel and the United States strongly rejected this accusation.

In recent weeks, Albania has published a series of letters that called for forcing the deadly bombardment of other countries to end his deadly bombardment in the Gaza Strip, including sanctions. The Italian citizen was a strong supporter of the International Criminal Court’s indictment of Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes. He recently published a report called US giants among the companies that Israel described as the occupation of the occupation and the war against Gaza.

“Albanian’s political and economic war campaign against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated,” he said. “We will always stand against our partners’ self -defense rights.”

Albania was the target of criticism of pro -Israeli officials and groups in the US and the Middle East. Last week, the UN mission of the United States made a frightening statement that wanted to be removed for years of virulan virus anti-Semitism model and anti-Israeli prejudice ”.

The statement said that Albanian’s claims that Israel has committed genocide or apartheid is “wrong and aggressive.

All of the Trump administration’s criticism of Israel’s criticism of the deadly war in Gaza for two years of criticism of a six -month extraordinary and expanding campaign to suppress the criticism. Earlier this year, the Trump administration began to arrest and deport the students of American universities who participated in faculty and pro -Palestinian demonstrations and other political activities.

The war between Israel and Hamas began on 7 October 2023 when the militants led by Hamas attacked Israel and killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians and captured 251 people. According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, Israel’s retaliation campaign killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, which forms most of the dead, but does not specify how many people are warriors or civilians.

Doctors and aid employees are almost impossible for critical wounded to take the care of the critical wounded.

Albanese said, “We must stop this genocide, whose short -term goal has completed the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and we should also emphasize the killing machine designed to realize it,” he said.
