Board of Deputies senior Vice President Adrian Cohen has called on the UK Government to join its counterparts in France and Germany in demanding the resignation of United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
He said: “We welcome the demands of the French and German foreign ministers for the resignation of Francesca Albanese, and call on the UK government to join them. Albanese’s comments have been branded as antisemitic by multiple governments over several years.
“She has shown nothing but disdain for her duty to impartiality, has undermined the credibility of the UN, and done nothing to advance the cause of peace. The UK government must not tolerate antisemitism under a UN banner, and should act now with its European partners to protect the integrity of the UN system.”
