US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced sanctions will be imposed on UN special rapporteur for Palestine Francesca Albanese for her investigations into Israel’s war on Gaza. “Albanese’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated. We will always stand by our partners in their right to self-defence,” said Rubio. Albanese this week hit out at countries that allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fly over their airspace en route to the United States, suggesting they may have flouted their obligations under international law. Last week, Albanese called on countries to cut off all trade and financial ties with Israel, including a full arms embargo, and withdraw international support for what she called an “economy of genocide”. “The situation in the occupied Palestinian territory is apocalyptic,” she said. “Israel is responsible for one of the cruellest genocides in modern history.” Albanese has repeatedly criticised Israel’s deadly 21-month attack on Gaza, and the military and political support given by its allies.
