Another confrontation between the Glass Palace and Tel Aviv. Israel decided to revoke the visa of the United Nations Resident Coordinator for the Palestinian Territories, accused of not being impartial. «We will no longer remain silent in the face of the UN’s prejudice! I have decided to revoke the visa of the United Nations ‘humanitarian’ coordinator, Lynn Hastings,” wrote Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen in X. Hastings, who is also deputy special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, is accused of not having condemned Hamas for the “brutal massacre of 1,200 Israelis” on October 7 in Israel, “for the abduction of children and the elderly”, for “abuse” and “violence” and “using the inhabitants of Gaza as human shields ». Cohen also criticized Hastings for having “instead condemned Israel, a democratic country that protects its citizens.”
“He cannot serve in the UN and cannot enter Israel,” he insisted. Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, specified that the visa revocation dates back to last week: “I can only reiterate the Secretary-General’s full confidence in Hastings in the way she behaved and carried out her work.” Just yesterday, the UN humanitarian aid chief said that the Israeli military campaign in Gaza is creating “apocalyptic” conditions and effectively puts an end to any possibility of meaningful humanitarian operations. The one-on-one battle continues unceasingly.
