Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated at the time that he was imposing sanctions for her “illegitimate and shameful efforts” to prompt action against officials, companies, and executives.
Accusing Albanese of waging a “campaign of political and economic warfare” against both countries, Rubio said the actions “will no longer be tolerated.”
The sanctions followed a report by Albanese that identified corporations allegedly facilitating Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.
These included Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Palantir, which provide military hardware, surveillance technology and infrastructure.
