UN says Israel will not renew visa for top aid official
Israel has refused to renew the visa for the top UN humanitarian aid official for the Palestinian Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The UN spokesperson stated that UN staff do not overstay visas and that the UN Secretary-General has confidence in the official. It is unclear if a replacement will be appointed.
Israel accuses the UN of bias and criticized their response to Hamas's attack on Israel. Israel retaliated by bombarding Gaza, imposing a siege, and launching a ground assault.
