France and Germany call for UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese to resign

France and Germany have called for Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, to resign. They criticized comments she made about Israel, which she described as being taken out of context.

Albanese has rejected calls for her resignation. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, has distanced himself from her remarks, stating the UN does not always agree with what she says.
