She has been the target of personal sanctions by Donald Trump's U.S. administration and the subject of harsh criticism from Israel, including accusations of anti-Semitism. Yet she has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by the Parliamentary Israel-Palestine Friendship Intergroup. Still, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, remarked: “I don't want the focus to be on me — only on the violations that continue to take place”. At the Chamber of Deputies yesterday for a double date to present her report on Western companies and banks that do business through which more or less indirectly Israel and settlers perpetrate the siege in Palestine, Albanese pointed out that Israel "is starving a population of genocide survivors, and that they will be the next fallen, the next martyrs of the genocide if we don't save them: how could we have gotten this far? This is what we have to keep our attention on, what we have to answer to and what the accomplices have to answer for". Asked to comment on the fact that the Meloni government still does not want to recognize the State of Palestine, she said, “So it means that it says yes to a single state”. Speaking about her own work, which highlighted 48 Western companies that in various ways forage for Israel or settlers, she said that "it is very difficult, because it is not easy to get access to information: for example, American companies are much more transparent than Italian companies, on Italian companies it is very difficult to be able to trace back all the information you need. That is why in the end six months of work narrowed down around 48 companies". Every company in the report "was notified that I was conducting the investigation on them. Not only were they challenged with specific facts, but for each company I did a legal, accomplished and non-repeatable analysis, and that took me a lot of time". Albanese did not deny that "there was a lot of pressure in the preparation of this report and that is what I was most afraid of, because I knew that the tension around my mandate was also aimed at hindering its publication. It is no coincidence that in the end, although it was delivered on time, it was submitted to the states only two days before submission. It was really a report that created tension, nervousness even within the United Nations itself. Now I am happy to have published it because it is a necessary denunciation of a certain system that grips Palestinians, but it is not dissimilar to what is happening in so many other countries” where multinationals “profit from wars everywhere, from exploitation. This should make us reflect on what role corporations play and how much they need to be regulated".
