UN Envoy Took Trips Paid for by Hamas-Linked Groups and Lied about It
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese received $20,000 from pro-Hamas groups to fund trips to Australia and New Zealand in late 2023 - shortly after Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre, according to a UN Watch report. The trips were funded by several pro-Palestinian organizations, including Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFPA), Free Palestine Melbourne, Palestinians in Aotearoa, Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) and Palestinian Christians in Australia. AFPA openly announced on its website that it had sponsored her visit. It also published a video of a woman reading the will of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, rejecting diplomacy and calling for continued armed resistance. Albanese has compared Prime Minister Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, claimed the U.S. is controlled by Jews, and called for the destruction of Israel.
