UN Watch was founded by the Israeli Hillel Neuer, who claims that his organization is an "NGO." It is not recognized as such by the United Nations in Geneva and therefore has no voting rights. It should be noted that we have found information, posted by the government of Cyprus on its X account and in local media, stating that the Israelis with the Cyprus government are planning to launch a campaign against UNRWA.
