Transcribed from the clipping
“Israel accuses Hamas of diverting aid. Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon is accusing the Islamic militant group Hamas of diverting international aid to its ‘terror infrastructure’ and called on the United Nations to implement a strategy to end the practice.
Danon said Hamas is infiltrating humanitarian organizations in Gaza and using strategically placed operatives to divert funds. The ambassador called on U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to implement a comprehensive oversight mechanism to ensure an end to the practice.
He said he has contacted various U.N. agencies and international aid organizations to make similar demands.”
