Critics slam new posts of anti-Israeli committee during budget cuts

Critics have criticized the United Nations for rewarding a controversial anti-Israeli inquiry commission with four new positions of a value of up to three quarters of a million dollars, even if the World Organization undergoes a serious cash crisis.

“When it comes to spending money on the propagation of anti -Semitism, the UN has no expenditure limit,” said Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices, at Fox News Digital.

On June 4, the Independent International Investigation Commission in Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem-Est (COI), led by South African Navican, announced four new jobs for levels higher in Geneva. These include two associated interpreters of level P-2, a human rights official of P-3 higher level and an even more senior P-4 human rights agent.

Together, their wages vary from $ 530,000 to $ 704,000, based on the salary scales published by the UN and its salary multiplier based on location (set at 0.814 for Swiss employees), published in a document provided to Fox News Digital by a diplomatic source.

These wages do not include other higher level benefits of UN employees, including depending costs, housing allowances or relocation costs.

Bayefsky asked why “the tight exercise on the UN belt … applies to all kinds of urgent questions but exempts the COI, which simultaneously carried out an expense of expenses”.

“The Co was created to destroy the Jewish state and now drives itself accordingly.” She declared that her latest report, published in June, is “totally dislocated” and “affirms that the Israelis are like the Nazis engaged in” the extermination “of the Palestinians, refer to these” extremist Jews “” denies biblical (and) history fueling anti -Semitism by claiming the Jews Muslims. “.

A spokesperson for the United Nations Human Rights Office did not answer Fox News Digital Questions on the Commission’s conclusions.

Pillay and the Co were previously criticized for anti-Israeli feeling. In January 2022, 42 Republicans and Democrats in the Congress signed an open letter calling for the United States to finance the Co. The representatives expressed their concern that “President Navi Pillay, while being a High Commissioner of the United Nations Human Rights from 2008 to 2014, accused Israel on several occasions of having committed war crimes”. They declared that, even if she condemned Israel, Pillay “would have said nothing about the blatant violations of human rights in dozens of other countries which, unlike Israel, received the worst` `non -free ” of the Freedom House respected.”

In October 2023, a representative of the US Mission to the UN in Geneva declared before the third UN Committee that the United States “remain deeply concerned about the scope and nature of the open investigation commission established in May 2021. The Co demonstrates a particular bias against Israel by subjecting it to a single mechanism which does not exist for any other Member State of the UN.”

In October 2024, a COO report excluded information on the use by Hamas from the Kamal Adwan hospital for operations, failed to tell the Israeli mistreatment hostages received in Gazan hospitals and could not “check” that the tunnels found under the Al-Shifa hospital “were used for military purposes”. Bayefsky said the report was a victim of blood defamming trafficking.

In March, the Pillay Commission said that rape and sexual violence was one of the “standard operational procedures for the standard Israel for the Palestinians”. Pillay also said that the sexual violence of the FDI creates “an oppression system that undermines the law of self -determination” of the Palestinians “. In response, Bayefsky called Pillay” the main world champion of “Durban Declaration ” Calomnie 2001 according to which a Jewish state is a racist state.”

In March 2024, the Congress adopted a budgetary bill which eliminated the financing of the COI while simultaneously prohibiting the funds for the United Nations Rescue and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA), according to Jerusalem Post.

The United Nations Human Rights Council already has the impact of the organization’s liquidity crisis.

In a letter of June 16 produced by the High Commissioner of the United Nations Human Rights Volker Türk, the Human Rights Council describes more than a dozen reports, as well as studies, regional workshops and panels mandated by the Council, which could not be completed due to inadequate resources.

In response to a request for comments on how the IOC has received additional staff while the Human Rights Council deals with rarity, spokesperson Pascal Sim told Fox News Digital that the “opinions of the Human Rights Council is only expressed in the resolutions and decisions that his 47 Member States adopt at the end of each of his sessions”.

To the question of whether the Council needs more personnel or funds to fulfill its current workload, SIM has said that “UN member states are currently pursued consultations on this subject”.

During a press conference on July 1, the United Nations Subsecretary General for Politics Guy Ryder updated journalists from the UNCH Secretary General António Guterres to reducing UN80 costs.

Ryder said that the UN recognizes “that we have the difficult task of unraveling the undergrowth of the decisions and the resolutions and the mechanisms that we put in place to implement them, and we wonder if we are going to be able to advance considerably”.

Ryder also admitted that “when a similar examination was undertaken 20 years ago, he ran fairly quickly in the sand. He did not produce the results that were hoped for and expected at that time. We examine this experience 20 years ago, and we hope that we can avoid some of the traps.”

However, Bayefsky said: “For decades, the UN is committed to cost cans while their real expenses have started,” she said, noting that the United States “have always been satisfied by moving to the Titanic bridge chairs”.

Bayefsky said that “it is our government’s work to put an end to this sneaky calculation by immediately holding the entire UN budget until the dangerous lesions are deleted. It is our work to refuse visas to the members of the COI which plan to come to the United States in the coming months.

“Contrary to popular belief, the host agreement in the United States is not required to allow international travelers in the United States to stir up the flames of anti-Semitism, and to vandalize our fundamental values ​​and the constitution of the New York midfielder,” said Bayefsky. “We need a new boat, not new bridge chairs.”

A budget proposal from the Trump administration disclosed in April has announced the intention of eliminating all spending on the UN and international organizations.

In response to questions about the finalization of a decision concerning the financing of the UN, a senior official of the State Department declared to Fox News Digital that “President Trump ensures that the dollars of taxpayers are used judiciously. Any announcement concerning the financing of international organizations will come from the president or the administration”.

The United States, through its taxpayers, are the largest contributor to the UN in 2022, the UN reports that $ 18.1 billion, or 26.8%, of its $ 67.5 billion in spending came from the United States
