Rapporteur damaging United Nations reputation

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer has slammed United Nations rapporteur Francesca Albanese over her stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The UN rapporteur did an interview on The Project on Wednesday night where she claimed Israel had no right to use its powers to defend itself because Gaza is under its 'belligerent occupation'.

“I think she is doing the reputation of the UN huge damage, and she needs to reflect on the damage that she’s doing,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“I mean the secretary-general himself has been very partisan and anti-Israeli in many of the comments that he has made.

“But this woman Albanese, no relation, comes to Australia and I think has exacerbated the problem of the reputation with the UN.”
