UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian rights

Entities: Benjamin Netanyahu · United Nations · Francesca Albanese · Donald Trump · Gaza

Overview

In July 2026 UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese published *When the World Sleeps*, a collection of Palestinian testimonies that denounced the international community’s passivity toward what she characterized as apartheid, occupation and genocide. She reported pressure from pro‑Israel groups and sanctions limiting the book’s U.S. distribution.

Two weeks later Albanese used social media to demand an immediate global arms embargo on Israel, describing recent coordinated settler and army attacks in the West Bank as a "pogrom" and urging states to halt weapons sales until violence subsides.

At the end of July, speaking at the Second Jewish Anti‑Zionist Congress in Dublin, Albanese accused the United States of shielding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite an ICC arrest warrant, arguing that allowing his travel through U.S. airspace and a White House meeting undermines international criminal law. She reiterated her call for a full arms embargo, international boycotts and the suspension of diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, framing the Gaza conflict as part of a broader system that normalises Palestinian dispossession.
