After arresting a top official of humanitarian missionary group World Vision for funneling millions of dollars to Hamas, the Shin Bet and security forces announced Tuesday that they have arrested a U.N. employee for assisting Hamas.
Thirty-eight-year old Wahid Abdullah Boresh, a resident of Jebalya in Gaza, helped build military installations for Hamas, and helped Hamas leaders build mansions for themselves.
Boresh was arrested in mid-July, and indicted for fraud and aiding a terror group in a Be’er Sheva court Tuesday.
Boresh was an employee of the United Nations Development Program, which funds construction and infrastructure programs in developing countries around the world.
Active in Hamas for years, Boresh said under interrogation that he was instructed by Hamas to concentrate on his UNDP job in order to provide services for Hamas.
In 2015, for example, he directed a UNDP project to build an anchorage marina for the use of Hamas terrorists. That same year, he directed UNDP resources to rebuild neighborhoods of Gaza City where top Hamas terrorists lived, funneling money that was to be used to revive poor areas of Gaza into the areas where his Hamas masters said the money should be sent.
Hamas had hidden weapons in many homes and businesses in Gaza, and in the wake of Operation Protective Edge, many of those buildings were damaged.
As part of his UNDP work, Boresh was in charge of reconstruction crews that were clearing away debris – and when weapons were discovered, he alerted Hamas, instead of U.N. officials who, under the UNDP charter, were supposed to remove and destroy the weapons.
Shin Bet officials said that the incident, like the case of Muhammad El-Halabi of World Vision, who was arrested recently as well, shows how Hamas takes advantage of the generous international aid provided to Gaza to advance its military efforts to kill Israelis.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said that it had forwarded details of Boresh’s activities to U.N. officials, and to the heads of the UNDP.
“We expect the U.N., and especially the UNDP, to condemn unconditionally the activities of their employee, who took advantage of international aid, diverting it from the truly needy to the coffers of Hamas terrorists.”
Why is the title ‘UN man helped Hamas’? It’s the UN’s fault, not just one employee. They turn a blind eye and ignore what’s happening with their funds. It wouldn’t work with any other institution in the world. Others keep track of their money, however, if Hamas kept track of where their money went to, they wouldn’t be able to do what they want with it, which is funding terror
That’s all they want from the United (good for) Nothing organization?
How about they freeze all UN activities in the area until an impartial investigation is conducted?
How many times during the last Gaza war were chaches of ammunition found in UN schools?
How many times were UN ambulances used for transporting terrorists around Gaza?
I AGREE WITH YOU 100 % !!!
The only thing new about this story is that someone was actually caught .Now how do you expose and prosecute so many more UN members who are as corrupt as it gets.
Total corruption and this might be a bit more pervasive than at first it seems.
Very Surprised!
All your proving is the Rebbe is right about the un…the black hole
