>> Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations lashed out at the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, calling her a “witch” after she presented her latest report on third-state complicity in the genocide in Gaza before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

>> “You are a witch, and this report is another page in your spellbook," Danny Danon told Albanese, accusing her of trying to “curse Israel with lies and hatred”.

>> Albanese appeared unfazed by the ambassador’s tirade, responding: “It is grotesque and frankly delusional that a genocidal state can’t respond to the substance of my findings, and the best thing that he resorts to is accusing me of witchcraft.”
