‘I’ve hit a nerve’: Francesca Albanese defiant in face of Trump sanctions
10 July 2025 23:23 BST
The United Nations special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, on Thursday said she is undeterred by sanctions imposed by the US on Wednesday.
“It looks like I've hit a nerve,” she told Middle East Eye’s live show.
“My concern is there are people dying in Gaza while you and I are speaking, and the United Nations are totally unable to intervene.”
The sanctions follow Albanese's scathing report on 30 June in which she named over 60 companies, including major US technology firms like Google, Amazon and Microsoft, which she said were involved in "the transformation of Israel's economy of occupation to an economy of genocide".
