Francesca Albanese serves as the UN special envoy to the occupied Palestinian territories. She is one of the few who has made strong demands at the international level to take action to stop Israel’s human rights violations.
Israel and its allies have long been harshly critical of Albanese. They have been demanding her removal from her UN post.
In a statement on Wednesday, Albanese complained that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has indicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza, but that European countries are still helping him by allowing him to use their airspace.
In a post on social media, Francesca Albanese wrote, “The citizens of Italy, France and Greece should know that every political step taken in violation of international law puts them all at risk and weakens them.”

In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
