United Nations Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer has criticized the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese for being “extremely biased” against Israel.
Mr Neuer says the reason the United Nations “picked her” was because she is “extremely biased.”
He says she is someone who “pretends to be neutral.”
“Neither her position nor her background has anything to do with impartiality,” he said. “In fact, her mandate from 1993 is to investigate only ‘Israel’s violations.’ So her mandate is only to investigate Israel.”
“The reason they picked [Albanese] is because she is extremely biased. This is someone who, in 2014, wrote on Facebook that, ‘America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby.’ This is someone who a year ago, in November 2022, spoke to a Hamas conference of terrorists and she said, ‘you have a right to resist.’ This is someone who has regularly compared the situation of Palestinians to the Nazi holocaust. So she is the last thing that has anything to do with impartiality, neutrality, objectivity, and she should be exposed,” said Neuer.
Mr Neuer joined Sky News host Sharri Markson to discuss Ms. Albanese.

Months before they named her, we informed the U.N. Human Rights Council that @FranceskAlbs was the least qualified candidate in the world for a post requiring objectivity and impartiality. But that's why they chose her.
