US sanctions UN human rights rapporteur for criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza.

The US has imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a UN special rapporteur for human rights in Gaza, due to her criticism of Israel's actions there. Albanese, an Italian human rights lawyer, has accused Israel of human rights abuses and supported the ICC in investigating potential war crimes. The sanctions, part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism, aim to curb criticism of Israel. Israel disputes Albanese's accusations, calling them unfounded.
