International Commission of Inquiry on #Palestine member Chris Sidoti: "Ms. Albanese has been subjected to attacks that no #UN official should be subjected to, and indeed attacks that have been unparalleled in the past. We saw that again today at the 3rd Committee when the Israeli ambassador launched an absolutely outrageous attack on Ms. Albanese. He called her a witch, and the implication was obvious, she should be burnt at the stake. Those comments elicited some of the strongest comments in response that I've ever heard from the Chair of a UN committee towards an ambassador. The chair of the Third Committee severely reprimanded the ambassador, amounting to a censure. And that was right and proper, but the attacks on Ms. Albanese continue, and indeed today, the comments from the Israeli ambassador were continued by the representative of #Italy, her own country, and the attack on her has been accentuated by the United States in imposing sanctions on her. Those sanctions are unlawful under international law, and they are unlawful under United States domestic law. I don't know what actions have been undertaken by the Secretary General in private, but I have no doubt that the strongest possible action is being taken precisely because the attacks on Ms. Albanese are not just an attack upon an individual but upon the United Nations system itself."
