From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)


As part of its campaign to undermine & discredit? , the Government of Israel has been buying ads on @?to block users from giving donations to the Agency + undertake a defamation campaign.

?is the largest humanitarian organization responding to the crisis in?.

This does not just hurt the agency’s reputation but most importantly it puts the lives of our staff at risk.

These deliberate efforts to spread misinformation should stop + be investigated.

Companies including social media platforms continue to make profit through spreading misinformation. More regulations are needed to combat disinformation + hate speech.
