Pro-Israeli lobby groups intensified efforts in late 2025 to block or restrict the release and distribution of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s latest book on Gaza, titled When the World Sleeps, which includes stories, words, and wounds of Palestine, and documents Israeli atrocities against humanity.
Scheduled for English-language release in April 2026, following its initial late 2025 publication, the book now faces significant distribution uncertainty in the US.
