“The report presented by the special rapporteur Francesca Albanese is totally lacking in credibility and impartiality. Like Italy, we are not surprised by it. The content of the dossier clearly exceeds the specific mandate of the special rapporteur, which does not include investigations into alleged violations committed by other states or entities, nor judgments on cooperation between third countries and the ICC”.
Ambassador Maurizio Massari, permanent representative to the UN, said this. Italy is among the 63 states accused in Albanese’s report of “being complicit in the genocide in Gaza”.
Francesca Albanese, the UN special (independent) rapporteur for Palestine, attacked the states complicit in the Israeli “genocide” in Gaza, calling for a new multilateralism that prevents it from happening again in the future. Presenting a 24-page report to the third commission of the General Assembly examining the role of 63 states in the “collective crime” of “genocide” in the Strip, the expert says Israel has left Gaza “strangled, hungry, destroyed.” And the Israeli ambassador to the UN Danny Danon in response calls her a “witch evil”https://gazzettadelsud.it/articoli/mondo/2025/10/29/italia-complice-del-genocidio-a-gaza-lartigianato-massari -allonu-the-report-of-the-Albanian-lack-of-credibility-and-impartiality-f7d0585f-83f7-4c6f-be05-5ab93ddb4849/.”Through unlawful actions and deliberate omissions, too many states have damaged, established and protected Israel’s militarized apartheid, allowing its colonial enterprise to metastasize into genocide, the supreme crime against the people of Palestine,” said Albanese from South Africa. The report analyzes how the “live-streamed atrocity” was facilitated by third states, focusing on how the US provided “diplomatic cover” for Israel.
