Israel stopped issuing automatic visas to UN staff
The Israeli regime, accusing the United Nations of siding with Hamas, stopped the process of issuing automatic visas for the employees of this international organization. |
According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the Israeli regime stopped the process of issuing automatic visas for the employees of this international organization by accusing the United Nations of siding with Hamas.
“Elon Levy”, one of the spokespersons of the Cabinet of “Benjamin Netanyahu”, the Prime Minister of Israel, said that from now on, Israel will review visa requests from UN staff on a case-by-case basis.
In another part of his statement, Levy repeated unverified claims about Hamas using hospitals as military bases or stealing aid to Gaza by Hamas, and claimed that the United Nations did not condemn Hamas for these behaviors.
The claim of this Israeli official was stated while the Washington Post denied the claims made by Tel Aviv about the military use of hospitals by Hamas in an investigative report a few days ago.
The Israeli regime has repeatedly claimed that Hamas uses Al-Shifa Hospital as a command and control center. However, a review of satellite images and other information sources by The Washington Post shows that there is little evidence to support these claims.
The main findings of the Washington Post investigation indicate that there is no indication that the hospital’s rooms were used by the military. In addition, no connection was found between the hospital buildings and the Hamas tunnel network. It was also not possible to access the tunnels from inside the hospital.
Yesterday, Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said that he ordered the ministry under his command to stop renewing the visas of UN staff in Israel.
Cohen claimed in a message on the X social network that the behavior of the United Nations after the October 7 attack “was a shame for this organization and the international community.”
On the 7th October, in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and the imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, Hamas launched the operation known as “Al-Aqsa storm”.
This operation It was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories at several points of the border fences, attacked the villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them.
Organization The nations have criticized Hamas for carrying out the attacks on October 7 and have repeatedly demanded the release of the prisoners who were arrested by Hamas on this day. The officials of this organization, despite this, have published field reports of Israeli attacks on residential areas, schools and hospitals.
More than 100 journalists, 270 medical staff and at least 134 UN staff have been killed in the Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and emphasized the need to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. During the past days, the United Nations, aid organizations and human rights groups have warned that the Palestinians are at risk of dying of hunger. According to Article 99 of the UN Charter, Gaza demanded a meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza.
Article 99 is one of the special powers granted to the Secretary General in the UN Charter. . This paragraph authorizes the Secretary General to call for a meeting of the members of the Security Council to announce a warning about new threats to international peace and security. It has not been able to take the necessary measures to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. America, as the main supporter of Israel, has so far prevented the adoption of any resolution that calls for a cease-fire in Gaza.
