Israel: UN Funds Organization that Seeks to Prosecute IDF Soldiers
(Israel Hayom) Yoni Hirsch - Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor revealed Wednesday that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs helps fund the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), an NGO that works to put Israeli army officers on trial and to delegitimize Israel. Prosor called the transfer of funds to the PCHR a clear breach of the UN's behavioral code. Also Wednesday, a delegation of 11 Jewish organizations met with UN chief Ban Ki-moon over his handling of the Gaza crisis. In addition to presenting a letter listing violations of international law by Hamas, they called for the UN to investigate rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel's civilian population, and Hamas' abuse of UN schools in Gaza.
