Israel: We won’t work with U.N. officials who regurgitate Hamas propaganda

"Israel warned the United Nations that it would not work with those of its officials and staff members who support Hamas propaganda against the Jewish state.

‘Israel will stop working with those who cooperate with the Hamas terrorist regime’s propaganda machine,’ government spokesman Eylon Levy told reporters on Tuesday. He spoke hours before the UN announced it had appointed former Dutch finance and deputy prime minister Sigrid Kaag to the newly created position of Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza to help monitor and oversee aid to the enclave...

Levy, in talking to reporters, had harsh words for what he termed the ‘deeply problematic involvement of the UN in this conflict.’

'We urge our allies to stand up for basic integrity and the global institutions that should serve and not sabotage international security. For too long international officials have been deflecting blame onto Israel to cover up for the fact that they are covering up for Hamas,’ he said.

UN employees complicit partners to Hamas

‘In failing to condemn Hamas for hijacking aid, and in failing to condemn it for waging war out of hospitals, they have been complicit partners in Hamas’s human shield strategy ‘They have let the world down, we are demanding global accountability,’ Levy said. Moving forward, he added, ‘Visa requests by UN employees will no longer be granted automatically and will instead be considered on a case-by-case basis.’

The UN said in response: ‘Visas for UN officials to Israel have always been issued on a case-by-case individual basis, just like any other member state. We will continue to work with Israel on this issue.’

Tension between Israel and the UN have only increased since the start of the war on October 7, particularly around the issue of aid delivery to Gaza, made more complicated by the conflict..."
