UN Chief Guterres Denies Allegations of Calling Palestinian Rapporteur 'Out of Control'

No, UN chief Guterres did not call Francesca Albanese 'out of control'

Pro-Israel lobby group UN Watch alleged that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres referred Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Palestine, "out of control", saying he'd previously called her a "horrible woman." But Guterres named no one in his remarks. He said “many” independent rapporteurs were “totally out of control,” without singling out any individual. The UN has since said linking the comment specifically to Albanese is a “misreading” of his remarks. Vedika Bahl fact-checks.
