INTERNATIONAL INQUIRY FINDS ISRAELI’S CLAIMS AGAINST UNRWA BASELESS
25/04/2024
An independent panel released its much-awaited report this week about the UN Relief Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), noting that ISRAELI AUTHORITIES have FAILED to PROVIDE PROOF of their claims that UN staff are involved with terrorist organisations.
“Israel made public claims that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organisations. However, Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of this,” according to the 54-page final report, Independent review of mechanisms and procedures to ensure adherence by UNRWA to the humanitarian principle of neutrality.
The nine-week review, led by former French minister Catherine Colonna, focused on whether UNRWA was “doing everything in its power to ensure neutrality.” The report found the agency had significant mechanisms in place to ensure neutrality, probably more than other U.N. organizations or agencies, which Colonna said was “a necessity considering the very difficult environment, complex and difficult situation in which they operate.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres commissioned Colonna to head up an external review of UNRWA in early February, following accusations from Israeli officials that a dozen of the agency’s staffers were involved in October 7.
Colonna presented the report to Guterres earlier this week which contained some 50 recommendations to further tighten neutrality.
“I am confident that implementing these recommendations will help UNRWA fulfil its mandate and restore confidence where needed,” Colonna stated.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein rejected the report.
This is an expected response by the Zionist Israeli leadership who sling dirt, make false claims but FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY PROOF ALWAYS.
THEY ARE CONSUMMATE LIARS as former US Ambassador Chas Freeman stated recently.
THIS IS ALL ISRAELI PROPAGANDA!! THEY ARE TRYING TO WIPE OUT THE PALESTINIANS AND EVERY LIFELINE THEY HAVE!!
