"I will continue to do what I have to do," UN human rights expert Francesca Albanese told reporters in Ljubljana in response to US sanctions announced against her on Wednesday. "Yes, of course, it will be challenging... I'm putting everything I have on the line," she added.
Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine has repeatedly accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and has criticised US policy on the war there. The sanctions follow her publication of a report on 30 June in which she accused over 60 companies, including major US technology firms like Google, Amazon and Microsoft, of being involved in "the transformation of Israel's economy of occupation to an economy of genocide".
