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 @UNRWA , the Government of Israel has been buying ads on @Google to block users from giving donations to the Agency + undertake a defamation campaign.
@UNRWA is the largest humanitarian organization responding to the crisis in #Gaza.
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.
