Israel escalates confrontation with UN over Gaza conflict

Shafaq News/ On Monday, Israel signaled an escalation in its dispute with the United Nations (UN) concerning the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eli Cohen, called the UN stance regarding the current aggression against Gaza "hypocrisy."

"I instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not to extend the visa of one of the organization's employees in Israel and to deny the visa request of another employee."

Cohen considered the conduct of the UN since October 7th is a "disgrace to the organization and the international community. This disgrace began with the Secretary-General who legitimized war crimes and crimes against humanity, continued with the Human Rights Commissioner, who publishes unsubstantiated blood libels, and with UN Women, an organization that for two months ignored the acts of rape committed against Israeli women."

"We will stop working with those who cooperate with the Hamas terrorist organization's propaganda." The Israeli official added.
