Israel: Fire UN Official Over False Gaza Photo
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israel's Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor called Wednesday for the dismissal of Kuhlood Badawi, an information and media coordinator at the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, who earlier this week tweeted a picture of a Palestinian child covered in blood and falsely claimed she was killed by an IDF strike. The 2006 picture, published by Reuters, was of a Palestinian girl who died in an accident unrelated to Israel. "It is intolerable that UN money pays for this," Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Thursday.
