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.
