Calls to fire UN envoy Albanese for questioning Israel's right of self defense
After Albanese questioned Israel's right to defend itself on her Twitter account, the International Legal Forum called for her dismissal.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF

An open letter calling for the dismissal of Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for occupied Palestinian territories, was sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Tuerk.

The reason for the demand are recent comments made by Albanese on Twitter, in which she claimed that Israel can't claim its right to defend itself against "the people it oppresses/whose lands it colonizes."

The authors of the letter expressed "utter dismay and outrage at the abhorrent statements" made by Albanese, adding that it is "unfathomable that such a statement would ever be made by a UN representative."
