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?

• Naples, Florence, Turin freeze awards for Francesca Albanese after she endorsed violent attacks

Also: Austria, Romania, Lithuania join in refusing to support UNRWA x.com/HillelNeuer/st…

3/ @DerSpiegel: “Remarkable political shift”
“For the first time, Germany has rejected an extension of the mandate for UNRWA... Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) said that Berlin first expected "consistent and verifiable reforms within UNRWA." This, he added, was also stipulated in the coalition agreement between the CDU/CSU and SPD.“

Wadephul acknowledged that UNRWA provides vital assistance to around six million people in many areas. Jordan , Syria , and Lebanon have repeatedly requested support from the German government. By abstaining, the German government wanted to make it clear that it expects a "significant change," particularly regarding UNRWA's work in the Palestinian territories.

There had been unacceptable cooperation there, in part with groups that were hostile to Israel and had incited hostilities. "And that is why we have now drawn the necessary conclusions and hope that this will be understood and that the necessary reforms will finally be implemented," the foreign minister said at a joint press conference with his British counterpart, Yvette Cooper.

The Greens criticize the abstention
Green Party politician Luise Amtsberg criticized the abstention, calling it a devastating signal. She argued that the distrust of the UN organization was incomprehensible. Palestinians depend on UNRWA's support not only in the Gaza Strip , the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, but also in Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria.

UN voting shift: for the first time ever, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Czechia, Bulgaria & Latvia withheld support for renewing UNRWA's mandate. See 2022 vs. 2025 votes.

We had presented evidence of UNRWA terror ties before the German and Italian Parliaments: unwatch.org/at-the-senate-…Image

And in a vote on a second UNRWA resolution on Friday, those 6 EU countries were further joined by Austria, Romania & Lithuania. In previous years, all EU-27 voted in favour of these resolutions. We exposed and mapped UNRWA's terror network here: unwatch.org/unrwa-terror-n…Image
3/ Our exposé of UNRWA's terror ties before the German Parliament in Berlin was reported by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Berliner Morgenpost, Hamburger Abendblatt, Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, and other media:

In Torino, 400 leftists attacked La Stampa newspaper, dumping manure, ransacking desks and books, chanting “Terrorist journalist, you're next on the list.”

“I condemn,” said Francesca Albanese, “but let this be a warning to the press to do their job...”
ansa.it/sito/notizie/c…
2/ Government & opposition are condemning Albanese. Pina Picierno, progressive VP of European Parliament: “Violence is never a warning, and it condemns itself, without any ‘ifs or buts.’ Surprised but not too much, by the statements of Francesca Albanese.”
3/ Senator Filippo Sensi, also of the center-left Democratic Party: “Francesca Albanese's words about the fascist attack on La Stampa horrify me...”

TRAGIC: Francesca Albanese, the UN's de facto spokesperson for Hamas, says she can no longer use a credit card, rent a car, or open a bank account, due to the historic U.S. decision to sanction her.

“I am treated almost like Osama bin Laden, and I find it horrible, horrible!”
2/ Albanese: “I'm the first UN person to be sanctioned...
U.S. sanctions are very, very heavy.
The implications are enormous.”
3/ “It's really impairing as a person. It creates a chilling effect around you, because anyone who engages with a
U.S.-sanctioned person risks to be arrested and to be subjected to very heavy fines.”

ICJ found no proof of UNRWA terror ties.

⚡️ Exposé on UNRWA chiefs Philippe Lazzarini & Pierre Krähenbühl, Lebanon reps Dorothee Klaus, Claudio Cordone, Matthias Schmale, UNRWA deputies Gwyn Lewis, Hakam Shahwan, Thomas White, Munir Manna, Leni Stenseth: unwatch.org/the-unholy-all…Image
2/ See evidence of UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA Gaza staff Telegram group who cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid.
⚡️ unwatch.org/unrwa-terrorgr…
3/ See the evidence that UNRWA for 30 years employed Fathi Sharif—the Hamas terror chief in Lebanon—to run their entire education system, putting a “teacher of Jihad” (as Hamas eulogized him) in charge of 65 schools, 2,000 teachers and 39,000 students: unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

The Rise and Fall of Human Rights at the UN:

Jan. 15, 1964: UN Watch founder Morris Abram drafts UN anti-racism convention as member of UN human rights expert body.

Tomorrow: Loyal servants of Beijing & Tehran to be elected by acclamation to the successor UN human rights body.Image

2/ Meet 🇨🇳 Ren Yisheng. He served as a mouthpiece for the communist regime—primarily at UN human rights bodies.

Now he's going to switch roles by getting elected as a UN human rights expert.

Same guy who trashed a UN report on China's abuse of Uyghurs: archive.md/NWAtvImage
3/ Meet 🇮🇷 Afsaneh Nadipour. She's a 33-year veteran of the Islamic regime in Iran who defended their brutal crackdown on women's rights protesters. She’s an enemy of human rights.

Why are all our democracies silent ahead of her UNHRC election tomorrow?
