"Israel has informed senior officials in the UN Secretary General's bureau and heads of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in New York and Israel about the arrest of a Palestinian engineer who worked for the UNDP in Gaza, as well as details of his indictment on charges of using his position to assist the Hamas terrorist organization.
Israel has informed these officials of its expectation that the UN, and especially its aid agencies, will unequivocally condemn Hamas for exploiting the humanitarian aid system for its own aims and will take concrete measures to ensure that humanitarian activities actually assist those in need in Gaza instead of assisting the terrorist leaders of Hamas."
