Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said that he ordered the withdrawal of a senior United Nation humanitarian official’s residency permit, accusing him of spreading lies about the war in Gaza.
Saar wrote on x that Jonathan whittal,a South African who lives in Jerusalem and frequently visits the Gaza Strip, has repeatedly condemned the humanitarian conditions for the more than two million people living in the Palestinian territory.
He says that the decision, came after the “biased and hostile conduct against Israel which distorted reality” and broke UN neutrality rules.
Saar says that Gazans are “slowly dying” due to the effects of Israel’s war against Hamas militants.
