“Eliminating Hamas means eliminating a political party, and this is not a military objective. It is the elimination of Hamas that is at the heart of the genocidal logic that Israel has implemented.” — Francesca Albanese, U.N. Special Rapporteur for Hamas Rights

Iran Regime Tells UN: “We target only the military objectives of the hostile forces. We don't target civilians. We don't target the interests of neighboring states.” Fact-Check: FALSE. The truth is that Iran's regime this week attacked: UAE: Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, ports, hotels, residential neighborhoods, and industrial zones. Bahrain: Hotels in Manama, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure. Drone strikes caused injuries and fires in non-military zones. Kuwait: Hits on airports, civilian sites, and reported civilian impacts from strikes. Qatar: Strikes near airport, energy and industrial facilities. Saudi Arabia: Attacks on Aramco oil facilities, civilian and economic infrastructure, potential spillover to urban areas. Oman: Missile strikes on oil tankers, container ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and port infrastructure. Iraq: Strikes on Baghdad International Airport, hotels in Erbil used by civilians, and residential areas, causing civilian casualties. Jordan: Intercepted missiles with debris falling in civilian areas. Israel: Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israeli cities, striking or threatening densely populated civilian areas including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beit Shemesh. Several missiles hit residential neighborhoods and a synagogue, killing at least 10 Israeli civilians and injuring dozens. Civilian buildings, roads, and vehicles were damaged by direct hits and debris from interceptions. The attacks were directed at urban population centers rather than clearly identifiable military objectives

Francesca Albanese: “People continue to say ‘But Hamas, Hamas, Hamas’... I don't think people have any idea what Hamas is. Hamas is a political force that won the 2005 elections—whether we like it or not. Hamas built schools, public facilities, hospitals. It was simply the authority, the de facto authority.” “So it is critical that you understand, that when you think of Hamas, you should not necessarily think of cut-throats, people armed to the teeth, or fighters. It's not like that.”

🔥 BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid | جاسم الجريّد, invited by UN Watch: Mr. Chair, I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land. Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs. So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home? Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity. There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived. I don't believe in miracles, but this is one. So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel? Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace. Thank you.

UN: Antonio Guterres and Annalena Baerbock refuse to apologize for lighting eternal flame honoring Hamas terrorist. “What was said was said.” Q: At the UN 8 June Memorial Ceremony, the name of an UNRWA employee, Imad Yousif El Samhouri, was read among UN personnel being honoured. Later, Hamas identified him as a field commander in Al-Qassam Brigade. Will the Secretary General apologize for honouring a Hamas commander? UN Spokesman: We are always very deeply concerned when allegations against former staff is raised. Obviously, when his name was included, the agency was not aware. I will remind you that the list of all UNRWA staff is shared with the Israeli authorities, as they are every year. His name was shared in the list of 2024. No concerns were raised based on that information from the Israeli side. And obviously, had those allegations been raised before, his name would likely not have been included. Q: Well, now you will retract his name and apologize? UN: The name was listed with the information that we had at the time. And as I said, his name was shared with the Israelis. No issues were raised. If those allegations had been shared with us at the time through official channels, it would not have been included. Q: So there will be no correction? UN: What was said was said, and we’re now stating our position, which makes it clear, had we known and had we been told, his name would probably not have been included.
