The anti -Semitic accusations are unable to prevent nations

More countries and organizations have condemned Albanian for its history of anti -Semitic observations. However, a committee commissioned by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to review the complaints about the Albanians was convinced by his “detailed explanations” of not being anti -Semitic.
“We are talking about one of the most clear legitimate of Hamas terrorism, which literally states that Israel does not have the right to defend himself,” he told Fox News Digital, executive director of the United Nations. “It is a horrible statement on the United Nations State today.”
