      Investigators made findings in relation to 19 UNRWA staff alleged to have been involved in the attacks, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq told journalists in New York.

      “In one case, no evidence was obtained by OIOS to support the allegations of the staff member’s involvement, while in nine other cases, the evidence obtained by OIOS was insufficient to support the staff members’ involvement,” he said. Regarding these 10 cases, he said that appropriate measures will be taken in due course, in conformity with UNRWA Regulations and Rules.

      With respect to the remaining nine cases, the evidence obtained by OIOS indicated that the UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the 7 October attacks.

      UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini issued a statement acknowledging the completion of the probe.

      “I have decided that in the case of these remaining nine staff members, they cannot work for UNRWA. All contracts of these staff members will be terminated in the interest of the Agency,” he said.

      Das die Tagesschau israelische Propagandalügen oft widergibt, ohne diese zu hinterfragen ist leider nicht nur an diesem Beispiel gezeigt worden.

      UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said he learned in March of allegations that Sharif had been a “member of the political party of Hamas” and decided to suspend him and launch an investigation “from day one.”

      UNRWA hatte also schon ein halbes Jahr vorher reagiert, sobald glaubhafte Vorwürfe bekannt wurden, und die Aufbauschung des Themas erfolgte genau zu der Zeit ein halbes Jahr später, als Israel sogar von Biden mal aufgefordert wurde, die Menschen in Gaza nicht durch Hunger zu ermorden.

      Alle anderen Quellen sind radikalzionistische Organisationen die regelmäßig Falschmeldungen verbreiten und keine seriösen Quellen. Der Artikel von ynet bezieht sich dabei sogar auf Berichte von “UN Watch”.

      Zu “UN Watch”

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Watch#Reception

      Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has said “I deeply appreciate the valuable work performed by UN Watch. I believe that informed and independent evaluation of the United Nations’ activities will prove a vital source as we seek to adapt the Organization to the needs of a changing world.”[44][45]

      Ian Williams, former president of the United Nations Correspondents Association[46] and author of The UN For Beginners,[47] wrote in an opinion piece in The Guardian in 2007 that the main objective of UN Watch “is to attack the United Nations in general, and its human rights council in particular, for alleged bias against Israel”. Williams supported UN Watch’s condemnation of the UN Human Rights Council as a hypocritical organization, but also accused UN Watch itself of hypocrisy for failing to denounce what he called “manifest Israeli transgressions against the human rights of Palestinians.”[48]

      Claudia Rosett, a journalist-in-residence with the conservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies, praised UN Watch as “stalwart and invaluable”.[49]

      The American journalist and political activist Phyllis Bennis described UN Watch as a “small Geneva-based right-wing organisation” that is “hardly known outside of UN headquarters”.[50] She stressed that “undermining and delegitimising” Richard Falk through “scurrilous accusations” has been an “obsession of UN Watch” when he became Special Rapporteur.[50]

      Agence France-Presse described UN Watch in 2009 as “a lobby group with strong ties to Israel”.[5] The Economist has described UN Watch as a “pro-Israeli monitor”.[51]

      Dass UN Watch eine extremistische Propagandaorganisation ist, zeigt sich am besten an ihrer eigenen Website:
