Watchdog backs Rubio’s sanctions on UN official over ‘shameful efforts’ targeting US, Israel

The US sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for anti-Israel bias. Marco Rubio cited her "campaign of political and economic warfare against the US and Israel." Albanese is accused of accusing Israel of apartheid and downplaying Hamas violence and questioning whether the "Jewish Lobby" controlled US policy. Israeli leaders support the US action.
