유엔은 왜 가자지구 유엔직원들을 해고했는가?

[하토브.]

유엔은 왜 가자 주재 직원들을 해고했는가?

어제 유엔 사무총장 구테헤스는 UNRWA 직원 9명을 해고하고 나머지 3명을 더 조사하겠다고 하였습니다. 그런데 나머지 3명중 한명은 이미 사망했고, 2명만 더 조사중입니다.

왜 그랬을까요?

그들중 12명이 작년 10월 7일 침투 학살극에 직접 가담한 사실들이 드러났기 때문입니다.

즉 그들은 작년 10월7일 가자에서 이스라엘 영내로 침투한 하마스 요원들과 함께 민간인 학살극을 벌였던 것입니다.

그런 사실은 가자지구내, 유엔 직원들의 단체 채팅방 모임에서 여러가지를 주장하는 과정에서 드러났습니다. 그 단톡방에 이스라엘인 첩자가 들어가 있었던 것입니다. 그리하여 그들의 모든 대화들을 녹화하고 녹음하며 복사 기록해놓았고, 그것을 유엔에 직접 고발하여 유엔직원들이 여러가지 테러활동에 맹렬하게 참여한 사실을 드러낸 것입니다.

그 단톡방에서 논의된 사항들중에는 유엔직원들이 적극적으로 주장한바, 가자 학생들과 어린이들을 세뇌시켜서 더욱 투쟁적으로 만들고, 테러를 조장하며, 테러리스트를 양육하도록 하는 교육을 강화 보급 확대하는 내용들이었습니다.

이런 것은 사실 이스라엘-팔레스타인 분쟁을 아는 사람들에게는 특별한 것이 아니었습니다만 그것들을 입증시키는 것이 문제였습니다. 이스라엘 내에는 많은 민간인들이, Shinbeth 나 Mossad 이상으로 유엔과 하마스, 파타 헤즈볼라 등을 감시하고 있는 것입니다.

이런 진실이 드러나자, 미국, 캐나다, 영국, 이탈리아, 핀란드, 오스트렐리아, 독일, 스위스, 네델란드, 일본이 UNRWA 에 대한 지원금을 중단한다고 발표했습니다. 한국은 발표가 없습니다. 한국은 아직 멀었습니다!

그러자 서안지구 파타의 마흐무드 압바스는 중단조치를 재고해달라고 요청했습니다.

미국은 트럼프때에 이미 운롸가 테러단체와 내통하면서 테러를 조장한다는 사실을 알고 모든 지원금을 중단시켜 버렸습니다. 그러다가 바이든이 집권하자마자 1억 5천만 달러를 지원해주었고, 팔레스타인에게 더 많은 지원금을 지원해주었던 것이며, 심지어 10월7일 학살 이후에도 수천만 달러를 지불해주었던 것입니다. 1억5천만 달러는 2천억원으로서 인건비로는 2천명에서 1억원씩 보너스는 줄수 있는 금액입니다. 가자의 유엔 UNRWA직원은 13,000명이며 그들의 대부분( 아마 99% 이상)은 팔레스타인인들입니다. 그들이 받는 월급이 바로 하마스의 돈줄인 것이며, 증거가 안나올 뿐이지 실상은 유엔직원=하마스 테러범들입니다.

이런 상황에서 유엔은 유엔 분담금 마저 위협받는 상황이 되었습니다. 트럼프때에는 유엔분담금을 아예 안내겠다고 위협하다가 나중에 찔금 주게되었습니다. 왜냐하면 유엔은 지독히 반기독교, 반이스라엘 정책을 밀고 나가면서 테러단체를 억압하는 척하고 있을 뿐이며 세계 평화에 전혀 도움이 안된지 오래되었기 때문입니다.

이런 상황에 몰리자, 지독한 반이스라엘 혐오주의자이며, 개톨익인 구테헤스가 유엔직원들을 해고하기 시작한 것입니다 왜냐하면 그도 더 이상 감싸고 있기 어려웠기 때문일 것입니다.

세계는 성경 예언대로 이스라엘을 대적하고 있습니다

앞으로도 이스라엘은 지금보다 훨씬 더 지독한 위기를 겪을 것이며, 세계로부터 공격을 방하고 비방을 당할 것입니다.

그렇지만, 메시야의 강림하심으로 세계는 졸지에 무너지고 초토화될 것이며, 메시야가 세계 통치 국왕으로 취임하시는 날이 올 것입니다.

우리는 이길 것이라는 보장을 받고 그 확신 가운데 살아가고 있습니다.

진리는 살아있으며 승리하실 것입니다.

Several Western countries announced the suspension of funding for UNRWA in the wake of the allegations. The US State Department on Friday said it had “temporarily paused additional funding” to the agency.

Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and the Netherlands all followed suit. Japan said Monday it has suspended funding “for the time being.”

But other countries, including Ireland and Norway, said they would continue funding UNRWA.

Norway’s government on Saturday said “the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, and UNRWA is the most important humanitarian organization there … International support for Palestine is needed now more than ever.”

In a statement Sunday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas urged countries suspending funding for UNRWA to reconsider.

유엔총장은 테러리스트 교사들의 밥줄이 끊아지자. 지원을 재개할 것을 호소하고 나섰습니다.

이놈은 테러범들의 수장일 뿐입니다.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — The secretary-general of the United Nations on Sunday called on countries to resume funding the main agency providing aid in the Gaza Strip after a dozen of its employees were accused of taking part in the Hamas attack on Israel that ignited the war four months ago.

The dispute engulfing the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees came as U.S. officials said negotiators were closing in on a cease-fire agreement. The emerging deal would bring a two-month halt to the deadliest-ever Israeli-Palestinian violence, which has stoked instability across the Middle East.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the agency known as UNRWA would be forced to scale back aid to more than 2 million Palestinians in Gaza as soon as February. The coastal enclave is in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis, with a quarter of the population facing starvation as fighting and Israeli restrictions hinder the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged territory.

“The abhorrent alleged acts of these staff members must have consequences,” Guterres said in a statement.

Israel will seek to stop the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees from operating in Gaza after the war, Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Saturday, after UNRWA fired several staff members for their alleged involvement in Hamas’s murderous October 7 onslaught on southern Israel.

The foreign ministry aims to ensure “that UNRWA will not be a part of the day after,” Katz said on X, formerly Twitter.

Katz added that he would try to gather support for the move from the United States, European Union and other major donors to the agency, several of whom have suspended funding in the wake of the revelations.

“We have been warning for years: UNRWA perpetuates the refugee issue, obstructs peace, and serves as a civilian arm of Hamas in Gaza,” Katz wrote in a rare public statement on Shabbat.

“UNRWA is not the solution – many of its employees are Hamas affiliates with murderous ideologies, aiding in terror activities and preserving its authority,” Katz said.

Several key donor countries to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees joined the U.S. and said on Saturday they would halt their funding following accusations by Israel that several UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack.  

The U.S. State Department said on Friday they suspended payments to the organization. The U.S. underlined that "UNRWA plays a critical role in providing lifesaving assistance to Palestinians, including essential food, medicine, shelter, and other vital humanitarian support." The UNRWA is the United Nations humanitarian agency that serves Palestinians.

The organization said it had opened an investigation into allegations from Israel that some of its staff members participated in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.  State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said 12 UNRWA employees had been accused of participating.   

UNWRA head Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement on Saturday that nine countries have suspended funding to the agency which threatens "our ongoing humanitarian work across the region including and especially in the Gaza Strip." He added, "It would be immensely irresponsible to sanction an Agency and an entire community it serves because of allegations of criminal acts against some individuals, especially at a time of war, displacement and political crises in the region. "

Canada's International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen also announced on Friday that Ottawa had "temporarily paused any additional funding to UNRWA while it undertakes a thorough investigation into these allegations."

UNRWA responded by saying it had fired several staff over Israel's accusations, promising a thorough investigation into the claims, which were not specified, while Israel vowed to stop the agency's work in Gaza after the war. U.N's top spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was briefed on the situation by Lazzarini and was "horrified by this news and has asked Mr. Lazzarini to investigate this matter swiftly."

Here are what the countries that have suspended funding have said about the allegations:

Germany announced late Saturday they are suspending funding to UNRWA.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Saturday that while UNRWA provides "vital, life saving work", Brisbane would "temporarily pause disbursement of recent funding."

"We welcome UNRWA's immediate response, including terminating contracts and launching an investigation," she said on the social media platform X.

Finland, which had a four-year agreement to provide five million euros ($5.4 million) annually to UNRWA, suspended its payments and called for an "an independent and thorough investigation", in a statement from its foreign ministry.

"We must make sure that not a single euro of Finland's money goes to Hamas or other terrorists," it said.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said it was joining the ranks of those suspending funding, adding, "We are committed to providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population while protecting Israel's security."

Switzerland, which has made annual contributions of around 20 million Swiss francs ($23 million) to UNRWA, said Saturday no decision would be taken on the 2024 payment until the accusations were clarified.

"Switzerland has zero tolerance for all forms of support for terrorism, and for calls to hatred or incitement to violence," it added.

Dutch Minister for Trade and Development Geoffrey van Leeuwen announced a freeze in funding for UNRWA while the investigation is ongoing, saying the government was "extremely shocked."

"The accusation is that the attack was committed on Oct. 7 with UN money, with our money," he told public broadcaster NOS on Saturday.

The British government said it was "appalled by the allegations" made by Israel and would be "temporarily pausing any future funding" while the Foreign Office reviewed the claims. The head of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, has vowed to hold "accountable, including through criminal prosecution", any agency employee found to have been involved in "acts of terror."

Canada's International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen also announced on Friday that Ottawa had "temporarily paused any additional funding to UNRWA while it undertakes a thorough investigation into these allegations."

Guterres pledged to conduct an "urgent and comprehensive independent review of UNRWA," Dujarric said.
