Gaza: Israel has denied visas to UN staff following the United Nations criticized Israel for attacking civilians and hospitals in Gaza.
Various media reported that Israel will not renew the visas of UN staff and will not grant it to another UN staff member who has applied for a visa.
‘We will not work with those who support Hamas’s propaganda,’ Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told X.
Eli Cohen said that the behavior of the UN since the beginning of the bombing of Gaza on October 7th has been disgraceful.
It is the latest in Israel’s ongoing rift with the UN over the Gaza issue.
Israel recently announced that it was revoking the residency visa of Lynn Hastings, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Palestine. He left there last week.
Hasting said on December 4 that there was no situation to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Referring to the Israeli bombings, Hastings said, “There may be more hellish events that humanitarian action cannot respond to.”
More than 100 journalists, 270 health workers and 134 UN staff were killed in attacks in Israel since October 7.
More than 40 buildings of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) were destroyed in the Israeli attacks.
Israel has also come forward once morest World Health Organization President Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, accusing him of publishing false reports. But Israel has not been able to produce any documents to prove its allegations.
More than 20,000 people have been killed in 80 days of the Israeli offensive in Gaza. More than 8,000 people are missing.
