COURTHOUSE,
Aug 5 - For the UN's role in
Hamas' October 7 attacks,
non-US citizen plaintiffs and
estates on June 24 filed a
lawsuit in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York against
UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini,
Pierre Krahenbuhl, Filippo
Grandi, Leni Stenseth, Sandra
Mitchel, Margot Ellis and
Greta Gunnarsdottir.
The UN of
Antonio Guterres denied it
all, and Guterres' lawyer
asked the US State Department
to write in asserts total
immunity. (It did).
Now on August 5,
this from UN Spokesman Farhan
Haq: in "nine cases, the
evidence obtained by OIOS
indicated that the UNRWA staff
members may have been involved
in the armed attacks of 7
October 2023." Now what?
Inner City
Press, which daily cover the
SDNY court in-person and the
UN from outside the gate,
banned from entry by SG
Antonio Guterres, asked
Guterres' spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming about the lawsuit,
without any response per
usual.
Nor have they
responded to Inner City Press'
June 19 application
to enter the UN to ask these
questions.
