Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar confirmed on Sunday that he had ordered officials not to extend the visa of a senior United Nations

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

, was residing in Jerusalem and splitting his time between the capital and the Gaza Strip.
"There’s a limit to every scheme," Sa’ar wrote in a Hebrew-language post on X.
"Following a biased and hostile conduct against Israel — which distorted reality, presented falsified reports, slandered Israel, and even violated the UN’s own rules of neutrality — and in accordance with the recommendation of professional bodies, I instructed not to extend the visa of the head of OCHA’s office in Israel, Jonathan Whittall," the foreign minister said.
Earlier Sunday, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that Whittall would conclude his position and leave Israel "in the near future."
The official pointed to statements made by Whittall last month that the conditions near aid distribution sites in Gaza are "created to kill," and that "what we are seeing [in Gaza] is carnage. It is weaponized hunger. It is forced displacement. And it’s a death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
for people just trying to survive."

agency OHCHR; and the agency supporting Paleostinians in Gaza, UNRWA — had not been renewed in recent months.
"Visas are not renewed or reduced in duration by Israel, explicitly in response to our work on protection of civilians," said OCHA chief Tom Fletcher earlier this month to a UN Security Council meeting.
He described conditions in Gaza as "beyond vocabulary," with food running out and Paleostinians being shot while seeking something to eat. He accused Israel of failing in its obligation under the Geneva Conventions to provide for civilian needs under its rule.
Fletcher noted that "56 percent of the entries denied into Gaza in 2025 were for emergency medical teams — frontline responders who save lives."
Israel’s UN mission responded that it is "looking into the issue" of Whittall’s visa and criticized UN agencies like OCHA and UNRWA for abandoning neutrality, citing alleged bias and ties to Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...Israel has been sharply critical of UNRWA, even before Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror assault in southern Israel — accusing the agency of colluding with Hamas and teaching anti-Israel hatred, which UNRWA denies.
