Accusations Against the United Nations

  • 🎯 Israel's Ambassador Yechiel Leiter asserts that the United Nations is responsible for the starvation in Gaza.
  • ⚠️ He claims the UN is refusing to distribute aid unless it is handed over to Hamas, a condition Israel rejects.
  • 🚚 Leiter states that approximately 900 semi-trailers of humanitarian aid are currently blocked at the Karum Shalom crossing due to the UN's distribution demands.

UN's Role in Aid Blockage

  • πŸ€₯ The UN's assertion that aid is not being blocked is called "categorically false" and "tendentious" by Ambassador Leiter.
  • 🀝 Leiter alleges that the UN has been collaborating with Hamas from the outset, leading to the current crisis.
  • 😨 He suggests that some UN operatives in Gaza may be complying with Hamas due to threats from the terror organization.

Disputed Humanitarian Figures

  • πŸ“Š Ambassador Leiter criticizes Tom Fletcher, a UN official, for relying on figures provided by the Hamas health agency, which he labels a terrorist organization.
  • 🚫 He points to Fletcher's prediction of 14,000 child deaths from starvation within 48 hours, a prediction that did not materialize, yet no apology was issued.
  • 🩸 Leiter concludes that the UN and its officials, like Fletcher, have "blood on their hands" for the situation in Gaza.
