Hamas in Gaza just fired rockets at Israeli cities of Ashdod & Ashkelon, injuring a 62-year-old man in the torso & a 28-year-old man in the limbs.

Peace accords were just signed between Israel & two Arab states.

UN rights chief @mbachelet ignores all the above, attacks Israel.
I took the floor at the United Nations:

Madam President,

We meet on a historic day. For the past century, the Middle East has been the scene of war, bloodshed, enmity and suffering.

In the Arab-Israeli conflict, hostilities included deadly wars in 1948, ‘56, ‘73, and ‘82...
as well as other deadly wars of attrition and terror. In Israel and Arab countries, an estimated 230,000 men, women and children were injured or lost their lives.

Worldwide, the conflict sparked fears of a clash between the nuclear-armed superpowers, while the Arab Oil Embargo..
of 1973 shocked the global economy, quadrupled the price of oil, and triggered a worldwide energy crisis. Those applying this embargo included Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

Madam President,

Today is a historic day. In the 20th century, a total of two peace accords...
were achieved between Israel and Arab states — Egypt in 1979, and Jordan in 1994.

Yet today, in one day, that number will double. Only moments from now, on the White House Lawn, both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will sign peace agreements with Israel.
The three countries have already begun speaking of a new era — of peace, normalization, mutual cooperation, trade, tourism, prosperity and hope.

The peace agreements have been welcomed by countries around the globe, including Egypt, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, which itself...
announced that it will allow overflight rights to planes flying to and from Israel.

Today is indeed a day of hope.

But I am confused.

If the United Nations and this Human Rights Council truly care about human rights and peace, why did the United Nations Human Rights Chief...
just speak here, making numerous references to the Middle East, yet without mentioning once this historic moment of peace and hope?

Why, instead, did she only point the finger of blame at one side — at Israel?
Why did she not mention the peace agreements being signed today in Washington?

Does this Human Rights Council truly want peace and human rights for everyone?

Why does the Agenda of the council single out only one state, Israel?
Why are half the condemnatory resolutions of this council targeting only one state, Israel?

Why does this council's expert on the Palestinian territories examine only Israel's actions, while turning a blind eye to the abuses of Hamas and Islamic Jihad?
On this historic day, when Arab countries and Israel come together in peace, the question before the United Nations is a crucial question: Do they truly want peace, do they truly want human rights?

BREAKING: 🇸🇪 Sweden ends all funding for UNRWA, redirecting aid to trusted groups. Second EU state to announce in one week, after the Netherlands. Momentum is on our side. We are going to run terrorist-infested UNRWA into the ground. Peace now has a brighter future. 🧵⬇️
2/ I want to begin by thanking 🇸🇪 Sweden's @DavidLega, who served in European Parliament from 2019-2024, for inviting me to address the Parliament to expose UNRWA's terror ties, and for his own powerful remarks in Geneva at our 2024 Summit to End UNRWA:
3/ Again and again, the head of UNRWA tried to accuse us of “disinformation.”

But more and more governments saw the facts, none of which @UNLazzarini could dispute:

• Chair of UNRWA Teachers Union in Gaza, Suhail al-Hindi, was on Hamas Politburo. x.com/HillelNeuer/st…

• UNRWA Headquarters powered Hamas espionage computer server in terror tunnel right below. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

• UNRWA's ex-official Francesca Albanese fundraised for the agency by writing, “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby.” x.com/HillelNeuer/st…

• UNRWA commissioner-general met with Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror chiefs, telling them “We are united, no one can separate us.” foxnews.com/world/new-repo…

• UNRWA knew in July that 100 of its employees were on a list of Hamas terrorists—including Mohammad Abu Itiwi who took part in the October 7th massacre—but did nothing. x.com/HillelNeuer/st…

• 3,000 UNRWA staffers celebrated the Hamas October 7th massacre on the Telegram chat group. unwatch.org/unrwa-terrorgr…

• 8,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza rallied for Hamas terror chief and UNRWA official Suhail al-Hindi.

HISTORIC DEFEAT FOR UNRWA: 🇳🇱 Netherlands Parliament just voted 88-49 to phase out funding for UNRWA by 2029, citing its complicity with terror. This is first EU state to defund UNRWA, setting major precedent. We had presented key info ahead of the vote: tweedekamer.nl/debat_en_verga…
2/ As reported by journalist @coenhermenet, today's vote was part of a deal to pass the foreign aid budget. Under the agreed amendment, in 2025 UNRWA will get €15 million, instead of the originally planned €19m; then it drops to €11m, €7m, €1m.
3/ The text of the Dutch Parliament decision recaps key facts about UNRWA that we had presented to them in our Position Paper: tweedekamer.nl/downloads/docu…

Bravo to @chris_stoffer & @Eerdmans for their successful motion, which states: “UNRWA as an organization has been in disrepute for repeated neutrality violations and for some staff members glorifying violence in Telegram groups. In addition, there have been serious allegations against staff members participating in Oct. 7 or the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations. There is also the issue of antisemitism in UNRWA teaching methods and those of host countries, which the Colonna report also noted. The petitioners are therefore critical of UNRWA's funding and do not yet see enough reform and improvement...”Image

BREAKING: On Human Rights Day, we are calling for the resignation of UN rights chief @volker_turk after our investigation produces damning report of his blind eye to abuses by Syria, China, North Korea, Cuba, Eritrea, Qatar and other serial violators.
unwatch.org/un-watchdog-ca…
2/ In two years, Türk made ONLY THREE statements on Syria—with only one of them directed at the regime of Bashar Assad. The other two statements criticized the opposition Syrian Democratic Forces for violations in areas where it operates. Syria was one of the world’s most repressive regimes, embroiled in civil war since 2011. Assad repressed all political opposition, committed egregious violations with impunity, including enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and torture. The Syrian Network For Human Rights reported that nearly 2000 people were forcibly disappeared in 2023, approximately half by the Assad regime. In 2024, fighting intensified throughout Syria with the Assad regime using cluster munitions in urban areas resulting in over 150 civilians being killed and injured in the Idlib area. On April 7, pro-government militia in Daraa in Southern Syria massacred ten civilians, including two children. Syria also hosted IRGC military personnel and installations which facilitate the supply of weapons to the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon.
3/ Weak on Venezuela: Over two years, @volker_turk made ONLY FOUR statements on Venezuela, which is illegitimately controlled by dictator Nicolás Maduro, and ranked Not Free by Freedom House. Under Maduro, the state is a serial violator of human rights, with repeated credible reports of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, and torture taking place by government authorities. There are severe limits on freedom of expression and the media, with violence against journalists being commonplace. In 2023, opposition presidential candidate María Corina Machado was barred from running against Maduro on false grounds. Furthermore, the U.S. State department declared Maduro’s re-election to have been fraudulent, declaring that the opposition candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, “won the most votes,” and that the reported outcome by Maduro’s regime “does not represent the will of the Venezuelan people.” The level of repression in the country has caused millions of Venezuelans to flee.

FINALLY: After a decade of our sounding the alarm, including this year addressing the US Congress as well as the EU, Dutch, Swiss & Austrian Parliaments, the New York Times reports in detail how Hamas terrorists completely infiltrated UNRWA schools.
nytimes.com/2024/12/08/wor…Image
“To his students, Ahmad al-Khatib was a deputy principal at an elementary school in Gaza run by UNRWA. To Hamas’s military wing, documents say, he was something else entirely: an infantryman operating out of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.” /2
“The military wing, known as the Qassam Brigades, kept meticulous records of its fighters, tracking the weapons they were issued and regularly evaluating everything from their fitness to their loyalty.” /3

BREAKING: For first time ever, UN chief calls out a “dictatorial regime.” Never before did he use the words “dictator” or even “regime” for Syria, Russia, Iran, China, Cuba, etc. Why did he wait till Assad fled? Why was he silent when Syria chaired the UN Disarmament Committee?
@antonioguterres, you even addressed the UN meeting of the Decolonization Committee—which you said was “crucial”—as they elected the dictatorial Assad regime to the position of Rapporteur. You didn't object. You legitimized the murderous Assad regime: /2 press.un.org/en/2024/gacol3…Image
Year after year, @antonioguterres, every time Syria was elected and re-elected to this and other UN human rights and other committees, you and the UN enabled the propaganda of Assad's murderous regime: /3 syriatimes.sy/sy-rias-perman…Image

BREAKING: UN Watch has released parts of a 150-page dossier showing high-level UNRWA staff who are complicit with terrorists and meet with them regularly. 🧵
By @BWBailey85 @FoxNews:
foxnews.com/world/new-repo…
“Before releasing his documentation, Neuer attempted to present it first to UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini. Neuer recounted several attempts to meet personally with Lazzarini, who “cannot claim that we do not show him the evidence in advance.” /2
“Neuer's group released photographs of senior UNRWA staff, including Lazzarini and former UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl, meeting with alleged terror leaders. “You wouldn’t find these photos on UNRWA officials’ own social media,” he said. /3
