The UN is abdicating its role as a peacemaker in the Middle East by backing terrorists, according to Israel's UN Ambassador, Danny Danon. He argues that the UN is more interested in demonizing Israel and rewarding terrorism than in easing tensions in the region. Danon specifically criticizes the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza, which he claims has been overrun by Hamas terrorists. He calls for the disbandment of UNRWA and the deployment of a new agency focused on humanitarian efforts. Danon believes that progress is possible when Israel works with partners interested in humanitarian efforts, as demonstrated by the recent successful polio vaccination campaign in Gaza.
