Israel accuses UN and WHO of “complicity” in Hamas war crimes: “Your negligence has put lives at risk and has cost innocent lives”

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Israel last week pulled no punches in accusing the United Nations and the World Health Organization of “complicity” in Hamas war crimes because these agencies did not stop the terror group from using hospitals in the Gaza Strip as bases from which to attack Israelis, Israel365 reports.

Since its incursion into Gaza following the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, the IDF has found concrete proof of the terror group’s abuse of hospitals for terror purposes.

Even before its recent discoveries in Gaza, Israel has long asserted that Hamas embeds its terror infrastructure within hospitals and schools to deter Israel from striking them. The UN has itself been accused of corruption in Gaza, with UNRWA, (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) being staffed by Hamas sympathizers, according to Kobi Michael, senior researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), Israel365 reports.

Amid the ongoing devastating war in Gaza, rendered exceptionally complex and traumatic through the presence of civilians in and around suspected Hamas terror infrastructure, Prime Minister’s Office Spokesman Eylon Levy stated at a press briefing on November 14: “For too long international agencies and officials have been tacitly complicit with Hamas’s long-standing abuse of hospitals as human shields.”

Levy singled out Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), and U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths and said Israel required full accountability from them. What did you know? Why did you not say anything? Why do you continue to do propaganda for Hamas instead of doing your jobs?” Levy asked.

Referencing Ghebreyesus’ earlier post on X/Twitter that he was “appalled by reports of [Israel’s] military raids in Al Shifa hospital [in Gaza,” Levy went on to retort: “No, what is disturbing is Hamas putting its headquarters in the basement and the fact that you are covering for it. … No, What is appalling is that Hamas hijacked protected institutions and U.N. agencies did nothing. To the alphabet soup of international agencies complicit with Hamas war crimes we say: Your negligence has put lives at risk and has cost innocent lives.”
