Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, addressed her recent sanctioning by the Trump administration during a town hall with Zeteo, defending her position on the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Albanese characterized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent UN speech as "theatrical" and reiterated her claims that genocide is occurring in Gaza.
The UN expert also previewed an upcoming report examining media coverage of the conflict, which she suggested will generate significant attention. Albanese predicted the findings on what she describes as the media's complicity in events in Gaza will prove controversial.
