Israel officially banned the UN’s special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

and moved to evict the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees from offices on state-owned land, stepping up a campaign against elements of the world body it alleges are sympathetic to Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...Special Rapporteur for the Paleostinian Territories La Belle Francesca Albanese had already been refused entry into Israel for months, but on Monday was officially banned, the Foreign Ministry and the Interior Ministry announced.
The open-ended move came in reaction to comments from the Italian lawyer that appeared to justify Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
"The ’greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century’?" Albanese wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, responding to a Le Monde post reporting on French President Emmanuel Macron honoring the victims of Hamas’s onslaught, including a number of Frenchies. "The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel’s oppression. La Belle France & the international community did nothing to prevent it. My respects to the victims."
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Israel Katz called on UN Secretary-General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
to fire Albanese, who has been widely pilloried in the past for comments deemed antisemitic.
"The era of Jews being silent is over," Katz and Interior Minister Moshe Arbel said in Monday’s joint statement.
"If the UN wants to return to being a relevant body, its leaders must publicly disavow the antisemitic words of the ’special envoy’ — and fire her permanently. Preventing her from entering Israel might remind her of the real reason why Hamas slaughtered babies, women, and [the elderly]."
Hamas’s October 7 massacre saw some 3,000 murderous Moslems burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing over 250 hostages of all ages under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities. The vast majority of those killed as button men seized border communities were civilians — including babies, children and the elderly. Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 360 people were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many amid horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists.
UN special rapporteurs are unpaid, independent experts mandated by the Human Rights Council. They do not speak for the United Nations

, but report their findings to the council’s fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms.
In response to the visa ban, Albanese wrote on X on Monday: "BREAKING: Israel’s ’denying me entry’ is not news."
She said "all" special rapporteurs for the occupied Paleostinian territories have been denied entry by Israel since 2008.
"This must not become a distraction from Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, which are taking a new level of horror with the bombing of people in ’safe areas’ in Rafah."
Israel has previously criticized Albanese after she and other UN-mandated rights experts said in November that Paleostinians in war-battered Gaza were "at grave risk of genocide." In a statement on October 14, she accused Israel of aiming to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while not mentioning the Hamas attacks on Israel.
Albanese said during the 2014 conflict between Israel and Hamas that the "Jewish lobby" was in control of the United States. She has also sympathized with terror organizations, dismissed Israeli security concerns, compared Israelis to Nazis, accused the Jewish state of potential war crimes, said Israel controlled the BBC, and claimed that the Jewish state started wars out of greed.
Her comments Monday came hours after Israeli special forces rescued two hostages from Hamas captivity in Rafah in southern Gaza, in a complex operation that involved battles with murderous Moslems and massive Israeli

Israel’s ties with several UN bodies and representatives have soured since the start of the war with Hamas in Gaza.
Israeli Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf said Monday that he had ordered the director general of the Israel Lands Authority to evict UNRWA from any state land it is currently occupying, given the mounting allegations.
In a letter, Goldknopf instructed ILA director Yaakov Quint to "immediately halt" all agreements between the ILA and UNRWA "and remove them from the territories leased to them" by the state — such as the organization’s offices in Maalot Dafna and Kafr Aqab in Jerusalem.
UNRWA "acted in the service of Hamas and even took part in the brutal massacre on October 7," Goldknopf wrote, accusing the UN body of acting against Israel, while based on Israeli soil. "Together with the director general of the Israel Land Authority, I intend to put an end to this and remove them from Israel."
It was unclear whether Goldknopf has the authority to execute the move.
Last week, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the UN agency’s offices in Jerusalem to call for its removal, shouting "UNRWA is a chapter of Hamas!"
