An independent UN body has denounced the "ferocious attacks" against Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, claiming these attacks stem from misleading information disseminated by several European ministers. Last week, a group of European countries, including Germany, France, and Italy, called for Albanese's resignation due to comments allegedly made by her that were perceived as critical of Israel. Albanese, an Italian lawyer, has denied making these comments, which were cited by Czech Foreign Minister Peter Masinka, who claimed she said Israel was a "common enemy of humanity."

Furthermore, there appears to be a significant discrepancy regarding Albanese's alleged statements. Reports suggest that the comments attributed to her did not originate from her actual statements made in Doha on February 7, where she did not describe Israel in those contentious terms. Albanese has firmly rejected these allegations, branding them as false and indicating a troubling pattern of misinformation.

The UN Coordination Committee, consisting of six independent experts, has accused the European nations of relying on "fabricated facts" to undermine Albanese. Instead of asking for her resignation for fulfilling her duties, they should recognize the importance of her work and the context of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, as highlighted by the committee's statements, urging a dialogue based on actual facts rather than politically motivated narratives.
