Israel’s envoy says UN must ensure aid not ‘aiding terrorists’

Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations says the international body must ensure that terror groups are not benefiting from global aid.

“An organization which received UN support was caught funding terrorism. The UN must ensure that other organizations supported by the international community are not aiding terrorists,” says Danon. “Instead of building greenhouses, World Vision’s Gaza director funded incubators of terrorism and helped Hamas threaten the citizens of Israel.”
