You don't link to why she was called unfit. There are seemingly valid concerns with her ability to be an impartial UN Rapporteur as required for that position.

The Lancet item was a letter, not an article. It is a speculative letter than was then pushed as a 'Lancet article' (something you do in your comment) to give it credibility/authority it does not have.



More background on the UN Rapporteur:

In July 2014, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese fundraised for her former employer UNRWA by posting that America is “subjugated by the Jewish lobby.”

In January 2015, immediately following the Charlie Hebdo terror attack, Albanese posted an article from Iranian state-owned media PressTV with the title “CIA and Mossad carried out the Paris attack.”

In November 2022, Albanese told a Hamas conference: “You have a right to resist.”

On October 7th, 2023, as the Hamas massacre was still unfolding, Albanese minimized the atrocities by posting: “Today’s violence must be put in context.”
