ICJ “didnt decide claim of genocide was plausible” nor “that theres a plausible case of genocide” UN Watch 2024-04-26 | For the past three months, Hamas apologists like Ken Roth has incessantly been tweeting that the International Court of Justice found “a plausible case of genocide in Gaza.” Yet Joan Donoghue, former president of the court who issued the ruling, says the exact opposite: that the ICJ “didn't decide that the claim of genocide was plausible” nor “that there's a plausible case of genocide.”
Colonna says no surprise Israel didnt share evidence with UNRWA, examined by separate OIOS probe UN Watch 2024-04-24 | Even Catherine Colonna, the pro-UNRWA Chair of the Independent Review into UNRWA, says the headlines reporting “Israel failed to provide any evidence” of UNRWA terror ties are grossly misleading. Her probe had nothing to do with this issue, and Israel is sharing evidence with the other inquiry. “And by the way, it is no surprise that Israel did not provide evidence to UNRWA, because it doesn't owe this evidence during the investigation to UNRWA, but to the OIOS,” said Colonna
UNRWA chief to commission review into claims attacking, blaming for UNRWA of collusion with Hamas UN Watch 2024-04-16 | UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini tells AP (January 19, 2024): “I will commission a review by a third party, I still have to identify the third party. It needs to be reputable and credible enough to basically look into the various claims we can see in the media coming from either individuals or organisations, attacking or blaming or accusing the agency of collusion with a de facto, with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.""Clearly, as an agency, we are indicating that there is none of this agency institutional policies, that we have robust internal mechanism. But I also acknowledge that we are not operating in a no-risk environment."More: unwatch.org/unrwa-chief-to-commission-review-into-claims-attacking-blaming-accusing-the-agency-of-collusion-with-hamas

Israel was attacked by the Islamic Regime in Iran, not the Iranian people UN Watch 2024-04-15 | UN Watch's Hillel Neuer highlights a vital distinction that everyone needs to make: the unprecedented assault against Israel was perpetrated by the Islamic Regime in Iran—not the people of Iran, who are equally subjugated by the same murderous mollahs.

A Few Bad Apples: 8,000 UNRWA Teachers Rallied for Hamas Terrorist UN Watch 2024-04-02 | Hillel Neuer speaks at the UN Human Rights Council to combat the myth that UNRWA is plagued by just "a few bad apples." Full Remarks:How fitting that this Council meets here in the Hall of Qatar, sponsored by the country now hosting Hamas terrorist chiefs in Doha luxury hotels.In her report, Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese urged funding of UNRWA, which she says is being “attacked.” Let us consider.Yesterday, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini was next door to meet with the Swiss Parliament’s foreign affairs committee. They announced that I will be invited to brief them next. Here’s a preview of what I will say.On February 10th, the world discovered the terror tunnel right below UNRWA headquarters in Gaza, with electric cables going from the UNRWA grid to power computer servers forming a Hamas intelligence center. Mr. Lazzarini responded: “UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters.”Really? Because a week prior, on February 2nd, the Wall Street Journal reported: “In 2014, part of the parking lot at UNRWA headquarters in Gaza began sinking, likely from a Hamas tunnel dug beneath. ‘No one talked about what was causing the collapse,’ a former Unrwa official said, ‘but everyone knew.’”I repeat: “Everyone knew.”When it was revealed that numerous UNRWA employees took part in the massacre of October 7th, Mr. Lazzarini and his surrogates claimed, “It’s just a few bad apples.”Really? In September 2011, Suhail al-Hindi, Chair of the UNRWA Staff Union in Gaza, and principal of an UNRWA boys school, was suspended for his role with Hamas. He was a member of the Hamas politburo with Yahya Sinwar.In response, the entire UNRWA staff in Gaza, 8,000 teachers and school principals, went on strike for months to support this Hamas leader. UNRWA reinstated him. “A few bad apples”? No. UNRWA is rotten to the core.

U.N. Spokesperson says calling Oct 7th act of terror is “a question of opinion” UN Watch 2024-03-21 | According to the office of the U.N. Secretary-General, defining the October 7th Hamas murder and mutilation of women, children and babies as terrorism is “a question of opinion.” Really, Antonio Guterres? ---Question: Has there ever been any other U.N. agency that’s been accused of having terror ties, the way that UNRWA is being accused right now? Has that ever been investigated before that you know of? U.N. Deputy Spokesman: I’m aware of different allegations of different criminal acts against different entities in the past. That, you know, that’s what we’re really talking about in this case. Question: But nothing to do with terror, per se?
Leftist MEPs force Hillel Neuers testimony on UNRWAs ties to terrorism to be behind closed doors UN Watch 2024-03-19 | MEP David Lega, Hillel Neuer, and Matthijs Schüssler discuss today's hearing on UNRWA by the Working Group on External Financial Instruments (WG EFIs) of the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee where members of leftist EU parties first attempted to prevent the meeting from happening altogether and when that failed they forced the meeting to be hidden from public view. UNRWA was invited to send a representative but declined to engage and several MEPs walked out before the meeting started. Some refuse to hear the truth but given that EU voters are paying more than 100 million Euros a year to UNRWA, taxpayers have a right to know how their funds are being used, and what they are funding. Forcing evidence to be hidden contradicts the basic democratic principles of transparency and accountability.To hear the truth about UNRWA visit unwatch.org/The-Case-Against-UNRWA
