Former Israeli Finance Minister Lapid Slams UN for Using US Funds Toward 'Propaganda to Destroy Israel'

"Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid on Monday accused the United Nations of becoming a 'collaborator of Islamic fundamentalism,' saying that the body facilitated aid that reaches 'agents of terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah...'

Therefore, Lapid called on the United States and the European Union to place conditions on continued funding for the UN, in order to stop what he said is the body's campaign that seeks to delegitimize Israel.

'The US, Japan, France, Britain, Italy and Germany are funding more than 65 percent of the organization's budget,' he stated. 'All that is required of these counties is that they speak up and say they refuse to let this situation continue.'

In his condemnation, Lapid called for the end of what he said was the United Nations' funneling of finances that go toward 'unbridled and fraudulent attacks against Israel.'

'It is unacceptable that the United Nations takes American money, American resources and American support and utilizes them in a propaganda campaign that backs the destruction of the Jewish state,' he charged..."
