UN Assistant Secretary-General says 'no proof' Hamas uses construction material for 'military purposes.' UN Assistant Secretary-General Robert Piper claims that there is no proof that Hamas is taking advantage of UN-provided construction material for "military purposes," the pro-Hamas Middle East Monitor reports.
He made his remark after Israel announced that it was blocking the transfer of cement into Gaza because Hamas uses it to build terror tunnels. Piper said that the United Nations has provided 1.2 million tons of construction materials to Gaza, though he did not explain why despite that very few reparations have been carried out since 2014's Operation Protective Edge.
Recently, the Palestinian Authority claimed that the reconstruction is stymied by a lack of funds. Critics, including the Gaza-based think tank PalThink, say that the PA is trying to improve its own standing rather than Gaza. "Whenever the PA proposes development plans, it mixes between the reconstruction of Gaza and its own financial needs in order to get billions for its treasury," says isntitute head Omar Sha'ban.
Despite Piper's protestations, Hamas seems to make far more progress on building tunnels than on repairing residential neighborhoods and public services.

These UN people have no shame in telling straight out blatant lies .
The UN has been a terror supporter openly now since 1967 and more so since the 1976 UN decision to equate Zionism with Racism.
The organization should disband or move to Yemen.
And to think, as a kid I would collect money on Halloween for UNICEF. I should have saved those pennies for myself...
< These UN people have no shame in telling straight out blatant lies .
These days the UN is like the serial killer’s mom who denies her own son is evil and buys him a shovel, gloves, and large trash bags because he says he’s going treasure hunting.
No “proof?”
Oh, like signed affidavits, un-Photoshopped pictures, news media videos - THAT kind of proof? Well, of course not. Clearly the Paleoswinian terrorists (but I repeat myself) are a lot smarter than UN Assistant Secretary-General Robert Piper thinks that the rest of us are.
Well? where DID all of the cement go?
Not an accusation to you.
I realized this looked bad after seeing my post placed after yours.
sorry if there is any confusion.
:/
I’d guess they use concrete.....
No worries. We’re both on the right side of this issue. I was just being sarcastic, and maybe you didn’t have your morning coffee? :>)
