France Drops Call for Albanese Resignation at UN Meeting. France’s ambassador to the UN refrains from calling for the resignation of Francesca Albanese at the UN Human Rights Council, despite earlier pledges. France, alongside other European countries, had previously demanded Albanese’s resignation after her controversial remarks on Israel's Gaza war, which some labeled antisemitic. The special rapporteur on Palestinian territories denied that her comments were directed at Israel, claiming they were distorted. Instead of directly demanding Albanese’s resignation, France’s representative called for greater restraint and moderation from UN special rapporteurs. U.S. Ambassador to France Charles Kushner voiced support for Albanese’s removal over her statements, criticizing France’s handling of antisemitism. Despite mounting pressure, Albanese, who remains in her position until 2028, insists she will not step down. UN members lack formal authority to force Albanese’s resignation, and a resolution to remove her seems unlikely. While some countries continue to criticize Albanese, others, like France, have softened their public stance on the matter.
