Anti-Israel UN rapporteur Albanese bemoans effects of US sanctions on her life
2025-07-31
[IsraelTimes] Anti-Israel UN rapporteur on Palestinian rights Francesca Albanese, who was sanctioned by the US earlier this month for “political and economic warfare” against the US and Israel, bemoans the effects of the sanctions.

Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel who has been accused of antisemitic and pro-terror rhetoric, says the sanctions will have serious impacts on her life and work.

“It’s very serious to be on the list of the people sanctioned by the US,” Albanese tells The Associated Press in Rome, adding that individuals sanctioned by the US cannot have financial interactions or credit cards with any American bank.

When used in “a political way,” she says the sanctions “are harmful, dangerous.”

“My daughter is American. I’ve been living in the US, and I have some assets there. So of course, it’s going to harm me,” Albanese says. “What can I do? I did everything I did in good faith, and knowing that, my commitment to justice is more important than personal interests.”
