UN chief suggests armed forces in Gaza to protect Palestinians
2018-08-18
[Ynet] Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, suggests 'UN-mandated armed forces or unarmed observers' should be deployed in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the local population; The proposal is part of a UN General Assembly report that condemns Israel for using excessive force against Palestinians; The report does not mention Hamas; 'The combination of prolonged military occupation, constant security threats, weak political institutions, and a deadlocked peace process provides for a protection challenge that is highly complex politically.'
The idea that you can no longer kill Jews with impunity is very distasteful to some.

#10  Even if Israel allowed it, the Gazans wouldn't have anything to do with it. Hard to riot and drop condom bombs if the UN is watching.

#7  I see the UN wants to get casus belli to go to war with Israel.

My money is on Israel winning that fight.

#6  ^It's not failures for the UN

#5  It seems the UN now wants to replicate its failures in 1967 (Tiran and Sanafir) 1980s (Lebanon) and now Gaza. It has already failed once in Gaza with the UNWRA.
