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?

The Swiss Parliament, before they decide whether or not to reinstate funding for UNRWA, has invited me to address their special hearing next week. I will testify as to the warnings we sent over a decade to UNRWA about its staff promotion of terrorism. They ignored every one. 🧵
2/ In September 2015 we warned UNRWA about 12 employees promoting terrorism & antisemitism, including UNRWA teacher Ramy Alshorbasy who promoted a blood libel, and staffer Wael Sallouh who cheered the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens. unwatch.org/images-of-unrw…
3/ In October 2015, we warned UNRWA about 12 perpetrators including their teacher Hiba Miari who promoted Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli Jews & employee Hani Al Ramahi who showed the image of bloody knife with the caption “Stab Zionist dogs.”

On Saturday, the Independent Review into UNRWA's terror ties will release its report. Donors will then decide if to reinstate funding. Just one problem: the entire investigation is rigged. Let's do a deep dive into who the UN picked, and how they admit it's to “provide cover”: 🧵
2/ Let's start with the inquiry chair. UNRWA chief Lazzarini promised to name an “independent entity.” In the end, he chose recently retired French foreign minister Catherine Colonna—just weeks after Lazzarini had showered praise on her, and she on UNRWA.unwatch.org/unrwa-chief-to…Image
@MinColonna @UNLazzarini 3/ Note: when on January 13th Catherine Colonna pledged to UNRWA chief Lazzarini “full support for your work,” which she hailed as “more useful than ever,” this was already 3 days after the world learned that 3,000 UNRWA teachers belonged to a group praising the Hamas massacre.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, which tortures women’s rights activists, was unanimously elected chair of the U.N. Women Rights Commission.

They will preside over the March 2025 annual session attended by thousands.

We are now calling on all women's rights activists to announce they won't go.
2/ Despite some reforms, Saudi Arabia still has a horrific record on women's rights. On 16 November 2022, they arrested fitness instructor Manahel al-Otaibi for tweets supporting women’s rights and posting photos of herself without a black robe. She disappeared in November 2023. Image
3/ Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman touts his 2022 Personal Status Law as a major “leap” toward “women’s empowerment.” In fact, it codifies Saudi discrimination against women in almost every aspect of family life, retaining many harmful features of the male guardianship system. Image

OUTRAGE: International Red Cross today makes ex-UNRWA chief Pierre Krähenbühl its new head. He was forced to quit UNRWA over damning internal ethics report, abuse of power & corruption scandal, his reported sexual affair with staffer during world trips.
📜swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/m…
2/ @swissinfo: “The ethics report says many in and outside UNRWA knew of the affair between the married Krähenbühl and his chief advisor, Maria Mohammedi. He was often at her workplace rather than his. They travelled business class together, while others travelled economy.” Image
@swissinfo 3/ Why did @ICRC appoint the man who presided over one of the largest scandals in UN history? His deputy sidelined other staff to hire her husband. An inner 'clique' caused 'enormous risk to the reputation to the UN'. Report made in Dec. 2018 was ignored. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…

UNRWA: Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh Was One of Our Teachers

Ahmad Oueidat, UNRWA’s former Director of Professional Development and Curriculum: “UNRWA has tried to constitute a national platform and a long arm which would enable the Palestinian refugees to obtain their rights and first and foremost the Right of Return.”

"But what happened was the [West] saw that UNRWA was raising thousands and thousands of cadres, who could gradually contribute to the development of Palestinian society.”

“They saw that the UNRWA schools were giving rise to leaders. Many familiar names of politicians and leaders. First and foremost, we can mention Ismail Haniyeh, who was an UNRWA teacher, and so was Dr. Talal Naji, Secretary-General of the PFLP-GC.”

“The Israelis, the Americans, and the Western politicians felt that as long as UNRWA upholds its goals, it constitutes a source of danger. This is why they decided to corrupt it.”

"They planted [in the curricula] topics that have nothing to do with our values and our heritage, under the fancy slogans like neutrality, independence, impartiality, and humanity – as if UNRWA was not humane and neutral before.”

2/ UNRWA is infested with terorrists.

In 2017 Hamas elected to its Politburo Yahya Sinwar as Chair, and also Suhail al-Hindi, head of the UNRWA Gaza staff union and boys school. He was chair of Gaza’s “Great March of Return” border riots that preceded the October 7th attacks.

3/ Hamas terrorist leader Saeed Siyam taught in UNRWA schools in Gaza from 1980 to 2003. He was in UNRWA's Arab Employees Union and headed the Teachers Sector Committee. “Siyam controlled thousands of Hamas security troops in Gaza and was widely feared.” news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_ea…

.@melaniejoly, you are the first Canadian Foreign Minister in history to promote a statement authored by a UN official accused of antisemitism. Francesca Albanese was just condemned by the US for her “antisemitic statements,” echoing condemnations issued by France and Germany. 🧵
2/ Minister Joly, the U.S. just stated: “Francesca Albanese has a history of using antisemitic tropes. Her most recent statements justifying, dismissing and denying the antisemitic undertones of Hamas' October 7 attack are unacceptable and antisemitic.”
3/ @melaniejoly, why would you legitimize any statement authored by someone just condemned by France for her “shameful” remarks “disputing the largest antisemitic massacre of the 21st century”? You are francophone, so I include the original French:
