NEW YORK - Israel's UN ambassador on Oct 30 called for the resignation of UN independent expert Francesca Albanese, who has denounced the "eradication of Palestinians" from their land through "genocide".
Mr. Danny Danon posted on X, calling for the UN special rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories to step down immediately.
He made the call after Ms. Albanese told a committee at the UN General Assembly that developments in recent months "cement my assessment that Israel is conducting a genocidal campaign against the Palestinians".
"Once again, the UN has rolled out the red carpet for one of the most anti-Semitic figures in modern history, granting her a stage to spew baseless propaganda and lies," Mr. Danon wrote.
Addressing Ms. Albanese directly, he added: "Your presence at the UN is a disgrace, a betrayal of all moral standards. Resign immediately. Leave your credentials at the door and join your friends at Hamas and Hezbollah, where you belong."
Ms. Albanese has long faced harsh criticism, allegations of anti-Semitism and demands for her removal, from Israel and some of its allies, over her longstanding accusations of genocide against the Palestinians.
