United Nations, July 27 (RHC)-- Washington's representative to the United Nations says Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is not fit to continue in her post at the UN.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has taken aim at Francesca Albanese, after the UN Special Rapporteur endorsed a picture drawing a parallel between Adolf Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“There is no place for antisemitism from UN-affiliated officials tasked with promoting human rights. While the United States has never supported Francesca Albanese’s mandate, it is clear she is not fit for this or any position at the UN,” Thomas-Greenfield wrote on X.

A post circulating on social media juxtaposed a 1933 picture of Hitler being cheered by supporters of his Nazi Party with Netanyahu being greeted by members of the U.S. Congress after his address on Wednesday.

Albanese responded to the post saying: “This is precisely what I was thinking today.”
