The humanitarian coordinator in charge of aid to the Palestinians tweeted against the Islamic Jihad after the “Dawn” operation in the Gaza Strip, and was dismissed from her position not before she was forced to delete the tweet and apologize. Political officials: “This is another act of hypocrisy and cowardice on the part of the UN”
Criticism against Islamic Jihad by a senior member of the United Nations led to her removal from a prestigious position, and in Israel they attack and call the decision cowardly.
Sara Mascroft, who is in charge of the Ministry of Humanitarian Aid to the Palestinians, attacked the Islamic Jihad after the “Dawn” operation in the Gaza Strip in a tweet about five days ago, this following the operation.
“Feels relieved to see an agreement on a ceasefire that puts an end to acts of hostility that harm both Palestinian and Israeli citizens. Indiscriminate rocket fire by the Islamic Jihad that provoked Israeli fire is obscene. The safety of all citizens is central and the ceasefire must be respected,” she wrote. .
As a result, her managers forced her to delete the tweet she wrote on Twitter, apologize for it – and close the account. “One of my previous tweets was fed by wrong information and I deleted it. I deeply apologize for my poor judgment. All citizens, everywhere, must live in peace,” she apologized.
But the Palestinians were furious, and the UN nevertheless decided to remove her from her position and look for a replacement. In Israel, the decision was strongly criticized, although not officially.
Political officials told Ynet that “this is another act of hypocrisy and cowardice on the part of the UN against a senior official who was not afraid to tell the truth”, in their words.
