What propaganda leads to, or I guess this is just more propaganda
UNRWA sued by Israeli victims of October 7 Hamas attack
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is being sued by dozens of Israelis who accuse it of aiding and abetting the October 7 Hamas attack.
In a complaint filed with the United States District Court in Manhattan, the plaintiffs said UNRWA spent more than a decade helping Hamas build what they called the “terror infrastructure” and personnel needed for the attack.
The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages for what they allege was UNRWA’s “aiding and abetting Hamas’s genocide, crimes against humanity, and torture”, which they said violated international law and the US federal Torture Victim Protection Act.
UNRWA’s Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini and several current and former agency officials are also defendants. The plaintiffs include 101 people who survived the attack or had relatives who were killed.
UN chief denounces spread of misinformation about him
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says misinformation about him continues to be disseminated during the more than eight-month war on the Gaza Strip.
“I’ve heard the same source many times saying that I never ‘attacked’ Hamas, that I never condemned Hamas, that I am a supporter of Hamas,” Guterres told a news conference, without naming Israel.
“I have condemned Hamas 102 times, 51 of them in formal speeches, the others in different social platforms,” he said. “The truth in the end, always wins.”
Qatar’s emir, Dutch prime minister discuss immediate need for permanent ceasefire in Gaza
Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is on an official visit to the Netherlands at the invitation of King Willem-Alexander.
At The Hague, the emir met with Prime Minister Mark Rutte, stressing Qatar’s firm position vis-a-vis the Palestinian issue and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
This includes “their right to establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital within the framework of a two-state solution”, a statement by Qatar’s Amiri Diwan said.
Qatar is also continuing its work on various diplomatic mediation paths aimed at stopping the ongoing fighting in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, the statement added.
