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...”

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?
