Ambassador Danon: Hamas using aid funds for terrorism
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 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to implement a comprehensive oversight mechanism to ensure an end to the practice. He said he has contacted various UN agencies and international aid organizations to make similar demands.
Danon said Israel "will not relent until the UN and other aid organizations begin to track and follow every dollar that enters the Gaza Strip."
