Israeli MK Ofer Cassif Admits Regularly Informing Anti-Israel UN Envoy Francesca Albanese

Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories known for her anti-Israel stance, posted another provocative tweet on July 25, 2026, accusing armed Israeli civilians of planning to storm the West Bank that night. In her post, Albanese condemned the planned actions as unjustified crimes that must be stopped. However, the tweet included a screenshot revealing that the source of her information was Israeli Member of Knesset Ofer Cassif.

Cassif did not deny the connection; in fact, he openly admitted to regularly updating Albanese with information. This admission highlights a controversial dynamic where an Israeli lawmaker, funded by Israeli taxpayers, provides information to an international figure who frequently criticizes and accuses Israel on the global stage. The incident has sparked debate about the implications of such cooperation between an Israeli MK and a UN official perceived as hostile to Israel.
