<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;" _mce_style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">The U.N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland,&nbsp;<a href="https://unitedwithisrael.org/un-official-horrified-palestinian-stabber-killed-during-attack/" _mce_href="https://unitedwithisrael.org/un-official-horrified-palestinian-stabber-killed-during-attack/" target="_blank">tweeted</a>&nbsp;that he was "horrified" that a Palestinian terrorist was killed in what he called a "scuffle" with Israeli border police and sent "heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;" _mce_style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">The terrorist, armed with a knife, had tried to break into a civilian vehicle and was repelled by the occupant. He then attacked a police patrol, stabbing one officer in the face. Joined by several other assailants, he then attempted to snatch an officer's firearm, at which point he was shot.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;" _mce_style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">Responding to Wennesland’s comments, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, "I fully condemn the attempts to present the incident in a false and manipulative manner, and the statement by the U.N. envoy to the Middle East against the officer, who functioned with determination and professionalism."&nbsp; Border Police chief Amir Cohen said the officer’s swift action had prevented a "significant" attack on civilians.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;" _mce_style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">"Every day there is more proof that the United Nations is anti-Israel to its core. A terrorist is caught in the middle of an attack, stabbing a police officer in the head, and the UN official is 'horrified' that he wasn't able to go on a Jew-killing spree," stated&nbsp;Zionist Organization of American National President Morton A. Klein. "ZOA demands the UN recall&nbsp;Mr. Wennesland who has exhibited anti-Israel bias and is unfit for the role of&nbsp;Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;" _mce_style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">"ZOA reiterates our call for&nbsp;President Biden to reduce funding to this corrupt anti-Israel and antisemitic organization,"&nbsp;Klein continued. "The United States&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cfr.org/article/funding-united-nations-what-impact-do-us-contributions-have-un-agencies-and-programs" _mce_href="https://www.cfr.org/article/funding-united-nations-what-impact-do-us-contributions-have-un-agencies-and-programs" target="_blank">contributes</a>&nbsp;more than $11 billion annually to the woefully tendentious UN, making us the largest donor nation, accounting for nearly 20% of funding. American taxpayer dollars must only support transparent, humanitarian operations."</span></p>
