| UNRWA aid bag found in tunnel |
The United Nations is ready to check imports of construction material sent to Gaza in order to ease Israel's concerns that supplies could be used to rebuild cross-border tunnels, a UN envoy said Monday.That's really funny.
UN Mideast envoy Robert Serry told the UN Security Council that reconstruction of Gaza remained the main priority once a durable ceasefire is agreed between Palestinian factions and Israel.
"Construction material must be allowed into Gaza to this effect -- aggregate, bar, and cement. And their access to Gaza must be facilitated in such a way that fulfills Israel's security concerns," Serry said.
"The United Nations stands ready to lend its support in this regard."
Because UNRWA couldn't even monitor its own cement being imported into Gaza that was earmarked for only their projects.
UNRWA praised illegal smuggling of cement into Gaza back in 2011, after Hamas had already made it clear that it was prioritizing terrorism over building Gaza, a fact that UNRWA officials could not have been ignorant of.
UNRWA refused to condemn Hamas using scarce building materials, quite openly, for its own propaganda. In fact, UNRWA refuses to condemn Hamas even for putting Gazans' lives directly at risk.
UNRWA doesn't have its own drivers to bring cement from Kerem Shalom; it hires Gaza truck drivers who happily divert part of their cement to Hamas or the black market.
Hamas' redirecting cement donated by international aid was known back in 2010.
Most importantly, the union leaders representing UNRWA workers in Gaza are overwhelmingly associated with Hamas.
In Gaza, Hamas controls UNRWA.
The UN offer to keep track of the building materials entering Gaza is a complete joke.
Good luck finding a reporter who is willing to actually do research on the ignoble history of the UN empowering Hamas and helping enable its terror infrastructure, though.
