The United Kingdom is leaning towards backing Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh as secretary-general of the United Nations, Middle East Eye can reveal.
Nusseibeh’s candidacy has drawn controversy over the United Arab Emirates’ role in Sudan’s civil war, where it is accused of supporting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, whose mass killings UN investigators say bear the “hallmarks of genocide”. The UAE denies the allegations.
Her candidacy has also drawn criticism over the UAE’s close ties with Israel.
She was born in the UAE not in Palestine she has absolutely zero connection to the Palestinian cause. She’s a Gusano PA tier sellout but she’s not even Palestinian. Her family history consists of collaborators and sellouts.
Israel’s Danon praises UAE’s Nusseibeh but stops short of backing her UN bid
