Francesca Albanese Cries “Defamation,” Demands Elon Musk Censor Hillel Neuer For Calling Her “Hamas’s De Facto Spokesperson”

GENEVA, August 24, 2026 — UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is claiming to be a victim of “outright defamation” and has called for Elon Musk to censor criticism of her acting as “Hamas’s de facto spokesperson.”

In a response on X to a featured post by UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer, Albanese wrote: “Calling me Hamas Spokesperson is outright defamation, something one might expect from a decent platform that breaks its own rules, but perhaps not from Twitter’s current patron. Am I right, @Twitter?”
