UN Official Cites Dozens of Countries Complicit in Israel's Actions in Gaza
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon accused UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese of spreading Hamas propaganda following her report accusing Israel of human rights violations and criticizing the international support Israel receives. Albanese's report listed dozens of countries she claims are complicit in Israel's actions. The U.S., UK, Germany, Hungary and others were accused of backing Israel diplomatically or militarily. Canada, Australia and New Zealand were singled out for trying to "weaken" UN resolutions critical of Israel, while France, Italy, Croatia and Greece were criticized for allowing Prime Minister Netanyahu to fly through their airspace despite an ICC arrest warrant. The report rebuked several Arab and Muslim-majority nations - including Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan and the UAE - for supporting U.S. President Trump's peace plan. Albanese accused China, India, Taiwan, Austria, Spain and France of supplying weapons during what she labeled an "ongoing genocide." A separate list included nations indirectly transferring arms through joint military programs, including F-35 participants such as the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. Ireland and Morocco were cited for allowing weapons transfers via their airports, and the Philippines, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Sweden and Vietnam were criticized for continuing to buy Israeli weapons technology. Albanese also claimed the UN itself had purchased equipment from Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems.
