UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese has said that “Western governments” suspending funds for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees represents “double standards” after serious allegations were raised against 12 staff members.

“Same governments have not suspended ties with the state whose army has killed 26,000 people in Gaza in 3.5 months, though ICJ said it may plausibly constitute genocide,” she said in a post on her X account.

“Double standards? Yes, big time,” Albanese added.
