Austrian FM Retracts Post Accusing UN Official of Spreading Hate Speech
Meinl-Reisinger had posted on the U.S.-based platform X that Albanese “brands Israel wholesale as an ‘enemy of humanity,’” adding that “criticism of Israel's actions is legitimate, and Austria has always demanded compliance with international law.” The post followed claims by senior politicians in France that Albanese had described “Israel as the common enemy of humanity,” a statement widely criticized as disinformation.
In the same deleted post, Meinl-Reisinger wrote, “Albanese, however, is spreading hate speech. Such language undermines the impartiality and highest standards required of a UN representative. Unfortunately, Ms. Albanese has repeatedly failed to meet these standards.”
Shoura Hashemi, a director at Amnesty International Austria, noted on social media that Meinl-Reisinger had removed the post containing false information. Tagging the minister, Hashemi asked, “Where is the apology?” and questioned whether she would take responsibility for what Hashemi called a serious mistake.
