Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to what Israeli media have reported, the UN official was detained during inspections at Ben Gurion Airport; security forces confiscated his passport and transferred him to a special waiting area, then interrogated him about an official trip he made to the Gaza Strip last August; a trip that was made at the same time in prior coordination with Israeli authorities.
According to Rossiya El-Youm, Michou described what happened as unprecedented treatment of a high-ranking UN official and emphasized that he had not encountered such treatment anywhere else he had visited.
Following this incident, the UN official decided to cancel all of his scheduled official visits inside the occupied territories, a move that shows the level of dissatisfaction with the Zionist regime's action.
International criticism of the Zionist regime's treatment of international institutions active in Palestine has intensified, especially after the increased pressures related to the genocidal war against Gaza.
