🎙️Live on X: Are ICJ and UNRWA Undermining National Sovereignty? Set a reminder: https://t.co/KacpKHkIFe Join NGO Monitor Legal Advisor @Anneherzberg14 and host @kikas6652 for a live discussion on the ICJ’s latest advisory opinion targeting Israel and how @UN agencies like

NGO Monitor VP @olga_deutsch warns about ICHR’s terror ties after Hamas-approved Amjad Al-Shawa was chosen to lead Gaza’s new technocratic committee, noting “the fact that their official is a Hamas favorite means Hamas will keep a central role in postwar Gaza.” @JNS_org

Ironic: ICHR Deputy Commissioner General Amjad Al-Shawa was just appointed (with Hamas’s approval) to head a new technocratic committee to administer civil affairs in Gaza. At the same time - 🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇱🇫🇮🇳🇴🇨🇭 are investigating their own funding to ICHR due to its links with Hamas,

Dr. Michel Thieren’s account shows how politicized NGO allegations on “starvation” were echoed inside @UN agencies and ultimately cited by the ICC Prosecutor. 📘 Our May 2024 report⤵️ 🔗

As @Jerusalem_Post now reports, senior @WHO officials discussed in Dec 2023 how to use the term “famine” to pressure 🇮🇱. This followed weeks in which Al-Haq, Al Mezan & PCHR advanced the same narrative through letters to the ICC and appeals to @UN officials, echoed by @HRW,

The “starvation as a weapon” narrative began in the first days after Oct 7 w/ statements by @amnesty’s @ErikaGuevaraR, @hrw’s @OmarSShakir, & terror-linked Al-Haq, Al Mezan, & PCHR. Our May 2024 analysis traced how this libel was manufactured and then routed to the ICC >>

Worth noting: the Arabic post allowed public comments; the English version did not - suggesting an effort to be more discreet before international audiences.

European governments and UN bodies including 🇨🇭🇳🇴🇸🇪🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇪🇫🇷 🇳🇱🇪🇺🇺🇳 have provided GCMHP with millions in funding over recent years. >> Ex: 2022–2025, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden mainly jointly contributed to the Swiss-run “Support to Gaza Community Mental Health Programme,”

Our recent report revealed that Hamas – in their own words – acknowledged that Gaza’s medical facilities are “not neutral spaces.” They “serve as places of gathering for many commanders of the movement... in times of escalation.” https://t.co/MDEOm00pwW >>

GCMHP demanded that humanitarian facilities remain “free from any threat or interference from any party.” But, as this incident and many others discussed in our research prove, such freedom and independence doesn’t exist under Hamas rule in Gaza. >>

The NGO appealed to the “local authorities” (Hamas). The fact that nothing happened prompted many to conclude that the armed men were themselves Hamas. >>

‼️Another example of how NGO activity in Gaza is compromised by Hamas: Mental-health NGO @GCMHPMedia reported that armed men stormed its Gaza clinic, expelled guards & locked out staff at gunpoint. >>

“European diplomacy is not based on strategic clarity, but on an overacted moral outrage that is increasingly being manipulated.” Op-ed by @olga_deutsch and @vincent_chebat in @Jerusalem_Post highlights how European reliance on politicized NGOs has undermined both its

Au Moyen-Orient, la diplomatie européenne semble de plus en plus marginale, plus focalisée sur des indignations morales manipulées plutôt que sur une clarté stratégique Ma tribune avec @olga_deutsch dans @Jerusalem_Post @NGOmonitor https://t.co/KfLXeLSmUj

Article by @sarahbennun:

By dismissing Israel’s evidence of @UNRWA’s ties to Hamas, the court demonstrates its willingness to “do whatever it takes to absolve UNRWA and other UN agencies from any accountability for their role in aiding and abetting Hamas’ military takeover of Gaza and the war”. >>

“Despite its name, the ICJ is not like a domestic court with robust evidentiary rules and safeguards.” @anneherzberg14 noted that “it is a UN body, and it relies primarily on unverified evidence provided by other UN agencies and officials.” >>

.@anneherzberg14 explained that the ICJ is being used as a political tool rather than a neutral judicial body, noting, “The ICJ has been repeatedly exploited as a central means of lawfare, and this abuse has only intensified since… October 7.” >>

"The advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice is hardly surprising.” Our Legal Advisor @anneherzberg14 told the @Jerusalem_Post that the ICJ opinion was "orchestrated by countries hostile towards Israel, including Turkey, Qatar, South Africa, and Norway.” >>
