The State of Israel has begun to impose real sanctions against the UN for siding with Hamas and against Israel. On the instructions of Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, his ministry decided to deport an employee of UN Women from Israel by refusing to extend his visa in Israel.

In addition, Israel rejects a request by the agency, which deals with women's issues, to grant a visa to another female employee from the organization. It should be noted that Foreign Minister Cohen, who instructed Foreign Ministry employees to adopt this policy, is expected to leave his position on January 1, 2024, when he will be replaced by Minister Yisrael Katz, according to the predetermined rotation.
These steps are part of a new policy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs according to which visas for UN employees will no longer be granted automatically as they were before the war. Israel is particularly outraged by the UN agency for women's disregard for the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli women on the day the war broke out, as well as among the abducted women.

Ambassador Amir Weisbrod, deputy director general of the Foreign Ministry's International Organizations Division, met on Friday with the head of the UN Women office in Judea and Samaria, Marise Ginmond, and informed her that in light of the scandalous conduct of the UN and the ministry he heads, the Foreign Ministry has decided on the steps.
Ambassador Weisbrod added that "Israel will take additional steps if the organization does not act immediately to substantially correct its conduct, including firing Sarah Douglas, a senior employee of the organization, who violated UN laws with anti-Israel speech."
Douglas wrote on social media that the U.S. is "arming the genocide in Gaza." "We are currently witnessing all the forces of the Empire joining together to destroy the Palestinian people and fight for freedom." These views were exposed by UN Watch, a human rights organization that monitors UN bias against Israel.
The Foreign Ministry says it will continue to fight for international recognition of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens, especially Israeli women.

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen stressed that "the conduct of the UN and its agencies since the October 7th massacre is a disgrace to the United Nations and the international community. From the UN secretary-general who legitimized war crimes and crimes against humanity, to the human rights commissioner who publishes unsubstantiated blood libels, to UN Women, who for two months ignored the serious crimes and rapes against Israeli women, and when he issued a statement it was feeble and disgraceful. Israel will not continue to work with those who collaborate with the propaganda of the Hamas terrorist organization."
