US envoy says Albanese ‘not fit’ for position as UN expert after post comparing Netanyahu to Hitler

US ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield says Francesca Albanese is “not fit for this or any other position at the UN,” in the closest Washington has come to calling for the ouster of the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories.

Yesterday, Albanese endorsed a post on X that featured a picture of Adolf Hitler being celebrated by a crowd with Nazi salutes and cheers above a shot of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being greeted by US congressmen this week.
