US EditionTrump administration accuses UN Palestinian rights envoy of ‘virulent antisemitism'
- On June 20, 2025, the Trump administration submitted an official request to the United Nations seeking the removal of Francesca Albanese from her position as the special rapporteur on Palestinian rights.
- The request followed Albanese's release of a report accusing Israel of genocide and apartheid, and her campaign of sending threatening letters to corporations over their business ties to Israel.

- The US urged UN Secretary-General Guterres and Member States to condemn Albanese and support her immediate removal, warning continued inaction would discredit the United Nations.
