Francesca Albanese is an Italian lawyer and UN special rapporteur on the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. She has criticised Israel’s war in Gaza, urged the ICC to pursue war-crimes cases against US and Israeli nationals, and accused major US firms of complicity in what she called Israel’s “ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza”.
The United States has lifted sanctions against Francesca Albanese, the UN expert on the Palestinian territories, according to an update on the US Treasury Department website.
The move comes a week after a federal judge temporarily halted the sanctions, ruling that the Donald Trump administration likely infringed on her free speech rights by imposing the measures following her criticism of Israel's war in Gaza.
