Republicans Block UN Official Accused of Promoting Antisemitism

The House Foreign Affairs Committee is demanding that the United Nations not reappoint Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese due to accusations of antisemitism. Rep. Brian Mast, chairman of the committee, is leading the effort to block her reappointment. The move comes after Albanese was accused of making remarks that were perceived as antisemitic and questioning Israel's legitimacy. The committee's decision could potentially block the UN from renewing Albanese's mandate.
