“The outrage against Francesca is engineered by politicians who for years now have done their utmost to arm and provide diplomatic cover to Israel's genocide”.

Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis issued a message of solidarity with Francesca Albanese as she prepares to present her eighth report to the United Nations on the situation of Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Varoufakis said Albanese is facing a coordinated campaign of “demonization,” as certain NGOs and European governments are pushing for her resignation in order to deflect attention from Israel’s genocide, corporate profiteering from occupation, abuses against Palestinian detainees, and ongoing violations of international law.

He argued that efforts to silence Albanese would fail, stating that she will continue exposing Israeli crimes whether or not she remains in her UN role, and warned her critics that removing her could amplify her impact rather than diminish it.
