The Deputy Director-General for the UN and International Organizations in the Israel Foreign Ministry; Alon Bar, spoke this with Mr. Robert Piper, UN Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (charged with coordinating the work of organizations that provide humanitarian and development assistance to the Palestinians).

Bar expressed deep concern that UN agencies are involved in glorifying terrorists.

In his conversation with Mr. Piper, Dep. DG Bar demanded details regarding the funding of a Palestinian center named in honor of the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi (who led the group of terrorists that hijacked a bus and murdered 37 civilians, including 12 children, in 1978).

He told Mr. Piper that Israel expects the UN to act immediately to ensure that similar cases will not occur.​​

Israel awaits a response.
