The UN's Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) sent a letter to Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, requesting the release of Waheed Abdallah Borsh, a UNDP worker arrested in July for illegally diverting millions of dollars of humanitarian relief to Hamas. In the letter, the UN specifically referred to the Israeli city of Beersheba by an Arabic name.
The letter sent earlier this week cited Article 105 of the UN Charter, which Israel adopted in 1949, stating that Borsh, as a UN employee, "enjoys immunity from personal arrest or detention, as well as immunity from legal process in respect of words spoken or written and acts done in performance of his mission."
Borsh is being held in an Israeli jail in Beersheba, which the letter referred to in Arabic as Ber asaabeaa. "Israel operates according to the law, and we continue to do so in this case as well," said Ambassador Danon in response to the letter.The eighth largest city in Israel in terms of population, and the second largest in terms of size, Beersheba has been part of Israel since 1948 and is universally recognized as within Israel's borders.
*snip* "We do not grant immunity to terrorists trying to harm our citizens."
"The UN and other organizations must implement a comprehensive reform of the humanitarian aid mechanism in Gaza," said Ambassador Danon, "Any dollar spent, and any local hire by an international organization, must be monitored ensure they fulfill the purpose of aiding the residents of Gaza and not fund terror activities."
"It is inconceivable that a man aiding a terrorist organization will enjoy UN immunity," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday.

Stop writing them checks from the U.S. taxpayers and they’ll leave on their own.
The U.S “nest of snakes” is in Washington, DC; and the head
of the snake is Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton the head
of another of the snakes.
Ask for 1.7 billion dollars ransom ... His Arrogance will pay it in small bills of various foreign currencies.

I agree .
If Trump gets elected he needs to start yelling you’re fired over and over .
It is almost impossible to fire a government worker. Those that are appointed no problem. I read where our government pays millions to lawyers every year and does not have to account for it.
Unions,Lawyers and government employees give the Democrats huge advantages in every election.
