Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, slammed what he called a “fawning celebrity profile” of notorious antisemite Francesca Albanese, the U.N. rapporteur on the “occupied territories.”

Francesca Albanese has been sanctioned by the United States because of her relentless campaign to press for legal action against Israel and anyone associated with it. She has been fiercely criticized by several European countries, including France, which demanded that she be stripped of her role at the U.N. following her remarks in Doha last year calling Israel the “common enemy of humanity.”

Waltz criticized the one-sided portrayal of Albanese in Politico Europe.

“This fawning celebrity profile of antisemitic bomb-thrower Francesca Albanese manages to ignore all the ways she’s sabotaging the UN’s mission of peace, from trying to debank Americans to eliminating their jobs, all just for doing business with Israel,” he wrote on X. “She even calls Israel a ‘threat to humanity.’ This happens under a U.N. banner that Americans fund — so we sanctioned her for doing us harm.”

He also blasted the authors of the piece for misrepresenting the piece to him when they reached out for comment.

“POLITICO’s Daniella Cheslow and Karl Mathieson (who just deleted his account for antisemitic tweets) unethically reached out at the last possible second and claimed they were just doing a story about the sanctions,” he wrote.

“Why is POLITICO running cover for this anti-American, anti-Semitic zealot?” he demanded.

The reference to Mathieson’s antisemitic tweets harks back to 2014, when he posted, “Can someone explain the U.S. reluctance to stand up to Israel? Is it the Jewish lobby? How powerful can it be?”

Mike Waltz had earlier warned about Albanese, posting on March 31, “Just got a heads up that the UN’s leading in-house Hamas propagandist, Francesca Albanese, has ONCE AGAIN sent baseless threats to American companies using U.N. letterhead threatening ‘criminal liability’ (as if she had that authority) for merely working with a U.S. ally.”

“What an abuse of the U.N.’s resources that could be better spent helping people and resolving conflict. This is why she is sanctioned,” he added.
