UN General Assembly Adopts Resolution Requiring Israel to Cooperate with UNRWA
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution demanding that Israel cooperate with UNRWA by a majority of 139 countries on Friday.
Twelve countries voted against the resolution, and 19 others abstained, according to Israeli media. The resolution also stated that Israel should cooperate with other UN organizations. One of the countries that voted against the resolution was Bolivia, which recently resumed diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.
"We will not forget the crimes committed by UNRWA employees on October 7," Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, wrote in a post on X/Twitter in response. "We will not forget that UNRWA employees kidnapped the late Yonatan Samerano to Gaza. UNRWA should hand over the keys and go home."
His mother, Ayelet, said in February 2024 that "an UNRWA worker kidnapped my son's body. How can a social worker for an organization that claims to promote good in this world do something so cruel and inhumane?" She confronted the UN organization's Secretary-General Philippe Lazzarini during a speech in August of that year, shouting: "UNRWA kidnapped my son's body. Where is he, Mr Lazzarini? I want my son back!"
An N12 News report from September of last year found an official document filed in a US court in which the UN, with support from the US Department of Justice, argued that UNRWA employees who were involved in the October 7 massacre should be immune from legal action.
