Francesca Albanese ko UN role mein sanction kiya gaya

Albanese ne apni recent report mein 60 se zyada companies — including arms manufacturers — ko criticize kiya jo Israel ki military aur settlements ko support kar rahi hain.
Global backlash: Amnesty aur experts ka strong reaction
Amnesty International ne US sanctions ko strongly condemn kiya aur kaha ke UN special rapporteurs ko support milni chahiye, sanctions nahi.
Center for International Policy ke VP Dylan Williams ne isay “rogue state behavior” kaha.
