UN blasted for funding committee ‘created to destroy the Jewish state,’ despite budget crisis
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Critics slammed the United Nations for rewarding a controversial anti-Israel Commission of Inquiry with four new positions worth up to three-quarters of a million dollars, even as the world body undergoes a severe cash crisis.
«When it comes to spending money for the spread of antisemitism, the U.N. doesn’t have a spending limit,» Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices, told Fox News Digital.
On June 4, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Palestinian Territory, Including East Jerusalem (COI), led by South African Navi Pillay, announced four new job openings for senior-level positions in Geneva. These include two P-2 level associate interpreters, one higher-level P-3 level human rights officer, and a still more senior P-4 level human rights officer.

Combined, their salaries will range from $530,000 to $704,000, based on salary scales released by the U.N. and its location-based salary multiplier (set at .814 for Swiss employees), published in a document supplied to Fox News Digital by a diplomatic source.
These salaries do not include other senior-level U.N. employee benefits, including dependent costs, housing allowances, or relocation fees.
Bayefsky asked why the U.N.’s «belt-tightening exercise…applies to all kinds of urgent matters but exempts the COI, which has simultaneously gone on a spending-spree.»
«The COI was created to destroy the Jewish state and is now conducting itself accordingly.» She said its latest report, issued in June, is «totally unhinged» and «claims Israelis are like Nazis engaged in ‘extermination’ of the Palestinians, refers to those ‘extremist Jews,’ denies biblical history, [and] fuels antisemitism by claiming Jews defile Muslim holy sites.»

A spokesperson from the U.N. Human Rights Office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about the Commission’s findings.

Pillay and the COI have come under fire previously for anti-Israel sentiment. In January 2022, 42 Republicans and Democrats in Congress signed an open letter calling for the U.S. to defund the COI. The Representatives expressed concern that «Chairwoman Navi Pillay, while serving as U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014, repeatedly and unjustly accused Israel of committing war crimes.» They stated that while she condemned Israel, Pillay «reportedly said nothing at all about egregious human rights abuses in dozens of other countries which, unlike Israel, received the worst, ‘Not Free’ rating from the respected Freedom House.»
In October 2023, a representative from the U.S. Mission to the U.N. in Geneva said before the Third Committee of the U.N. that the U.S. «remains deeply concerned about the scope and nature of the open-ended Commission of Inquiry established in May 2021. The COI demonstrates a particular bias against Israel in subjecting it to a unique mechanism that does not exist for any other U.N. Member State.»

In October 2024, a report from the COI excluded information about Hamas’ use of Kamal Adwan Hospital for operations, failed to recount the maltreatment Israeli hostages received at Gazan hospitals, and could «not verify» that tunnels found below Al-Shifa hospital «were used for military purposes.» Bayefsky said the report trafficked in blood libels.
In March, Pillay’s commission claimed that rape and sexual violence are part of the Israel Defense Force’s «standard operating procedures towards Palestinians.» Pillay also said that the IDF’s sexual violence creates «a system of oppression that undermines [Palestinians’] right to self-determination.» In response, Bayefsky called Pillay «the world’s leading champion of the 2001 U.N. ‘Durban Declaration’ slander that a Jewish state is a racist state.»

In March 2024, Congress passed a budget bill that eliminated funding for the COI while simultaneously banning funds for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), according to the Jerusalem Post.
The U.N. Human Rights Council is already experiencing the impact of the organization’s liquidity crisis.
In a June 16 letter penned by U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, the Human Rights Council outlines more than a dozen reports, as well as studies, regional workshops, and panels mandated by the Council, which were not able to be completed due to inadequate resourcing.
In response to a request for comment about how the COI has received additional personnel while the Human Rights Council deals with scarcity, spokesperson Pascal Sim told Fox News Digital that the Human Rights Council’s «views are only expressed in the resolutions and decisions that its 47 Member States adopt at the end of each of its sessions.»

FORMER TRUMP OFFICIAL SLAMS UN REFORMS AS ‘EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS LATE’
To the question of whether the council is in greater need of personnel or funds to fulfill its current workload, Sim said that «Member States of the U.N. are currently continuing consultations on this matter.»
In a press conference on July 1, U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Policy Guy Ryder updated reporters on U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres’ cost-cutting UN80 Initiative.
Ryder said that the U.N. recognizes «that we have a difficult task of untangling the undergrowth of decisions and resolutions and mechanisms that we put in place to implement them, and we wonder if we’re going to be able to advance significantly.»
Ryder also admitted that «When a similar review was undertaken 20 years ago, it ran rather quickly into the sand. It did not produce the results that were hoped for and expected at that time. We’re looking at that experience of 20 years ago and we hope we can avoid some of the pitfalls.»
However, Bayefsky said, «For decades, the U.N. has engaged in phony cost-saving measures while their actual expenditures have ballooned,» she said, noting that the U.S. «has always been satisfied by moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic.»

Bayefsky said that «it’s our government’s job to put an end to this devious calculus by immediately withholding the entire U.N. budget until such time as the dangerous lesions are removed. It’s our job to deny visas to the COI members planning to come to the United States in the next couple of months.
«Contrary to popular belief, it is not required by the U.S.-U.N. host agreement to allow international travelers into the U.S. to fan the flames of antisemitism, and vandalize our fundamental values and the Constitution from the middle of New York City,» Bayefsky said. «We need a new boat, not new deck chairs.»
A budget proposal from the Trump administration leaked in April announced the intention to eliminate all expenditures to the U.N. and international organizations.

In response to questions about whether a decision about U.N. funding has been finalized, a senior State Department official told Fox News Digital that «President Trump is ensuring taxpayer dollars are used wisely. Any announcements regarding funding to international organizations will come from the President or the administration.»
The U.S. through its taxpayers is the single-largest contributor to the U.N. In 2022, the U.N. reports that $18.1 billion, or 26.8%, of its $67.5 billion in expenditures came from the U.S.

North Korea test fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles on Wednesday, just days before President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders in South Korea.
South Korea’s military said the missiles, which were the first launched by its neighbor in five months, originated from an area south of Pyongyang and flew about 220 miles toward the northeast. The missiles did not land in the sea, the military added.
Trump is set to leave for Asia at the end of the week in what will be his first trip to the region during his second term. He plans to go to Malaysia first for a regional summit, and then head to Japan before traveling on to South Korea for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting.
The president is expected to visit the South Korean city of Gyeongju ahead of the summit for bilateral meetings with leaders including Xi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

South Korea’s military said Wednesday that it remains ready to repel any provocations by North Korea based on its alliance with the United States.
Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi also told reporters that Tokyo was closely communicating with Washington and Seoul, including by sharing real-time missile warning data.
Wednesday’s ballistic missile launches by North Korea were the first of their kind since the country tested short-range systems on May 8 that simulated nuclear counterstrikes against U.S. and South Korean forces.

Earlier this month, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un displayed a new long-range intercontinental ballistic missile at a military parade in Pyongyang that included foreign leaders.
The yet-to-be-tested Hwasong-20 was described by the state-owned Korean Central News Agency as having the «most powerful nuclear strategic weapons system.»
The government also displayed shorter-range ballistic, cruise and supersonic missiles at the military parade, which marked 80 years since the founding of the Worker’s Party.
Kim said at the parade that the military «must continue to evolve into an invincible force that eliminates all threats.»

Bruce Springsteen tiene su película película biográfica, pero no es la que se podía esperar
Durante meses del año pasado, Jeremy Allen White tuvo a Bruce Springsteen hablándole constantemente al oído.
White escuchó una y otra vez la narración en audio de 18 horas de las memorias de Springsteen, Born to Run, como parte de una intensa preparación para interpretarlo en la próxima película Springsteen: música de ninguna parte, que narra las dificultades del ícono del rock para crear su álbum Nebraska en 1982.
“Eso sonaba en casa todo el tiempo”, recordó White, conocido por ser el protagonista de la serie The Bear, en una reciente entrevista por video. “Cuando salía a correr, cuando caminaba, cuando preparaba la cena. Me ayudaba mucho tener su voz conmigo todo el tiempo”.
Springsteen: música de ninguna parte, escrita y dirigida por Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart), ofrece algunos momentos propios de la épica biográfica del rock, como un White empapado en sudor cantando “Born to Run” ante una multitud o improvisando para un público devoto en el club Stone Pony de la costa de Nueva Jersey.
Pero al centrarse en Nebraska —una galería de personajes frágiles en clave acústica— y el colapso depresivo que Springsteen atravesó tras su grabación, la película se convierte en una exploración sobre la fragilidad de la salud mental y los límites del arte como sostén vital. En una escena tomada directamente de las memorias del músico, el hombre generalmente visto como el ideal del rock entra en la consulta de un terapeuta y rompe a llorar en silencio.
El objetivo de Cooper, dijo, “nunca fue contar la historia completa de Bruce Springsteen”. “Me esforzaba por hacer algo más tranquilo y más interior, sobre este momento muy específico en la vida de Bruce”, añadió el director, “sobre un hombre que enfrenta algunos de los traumas que arrastra desde su infancia”.
Springsteen: música de ninguna parte marca la primera vez que “El jefe” permite que su historia sea dramatizada en una película, y no es casualidad que Nebraska sea el núcleo. Springsteen ha dicho que considera este álbum quizás el mejor, aunque siempre ha sido una rareza y un misterio en su obra.
Compuesto mientras comenzaba a trabajar las canciones que dos años después integrarían Born in the USA, Springsteen grabó Nebraska en solitario, con una grabadora simple de cuatro pistas, en una casa alquilada en Colts Neck, cerca de Freehold, en Nueva Jersey. El músico trabajó en ella durante los meses posteriores a la exitosa gira de The River, su primer álbum número uno, bajo la presión de sostener su popularidad.
Las grabaciones de temas como “Atlantic City”, “Johnny 99″ y “Nebraska” —relatos de crimen, soledad y personajes en busca de esperanza— fueron concebidas como maquetas a desarrollar junto a la E Street Band. Pero Springsteen quedó cautivado por el sonido crudo y fantasmal de las cintas, y tras intentos frustrados de rehacerlas en el estudio, decidió que la versión original saldría tal cual, a pesar de la escasa fidelidad. En la película, los productores lidian con la dificultad de convertir el casete en un master comercialmente viable.
Para la discográfica y su entorno, fue una decisión desconcertante y arriesgada para un artista en ascenso; una jugada que, bajo la mentalidad común de la industria, podía suponer un freno a su carrera. Springsteen incluso insistió en que Nebraska no fuese promocionado con sencillos, giras ni entrevistas.
Warren Zanes, músico y académico que conoció Nebraska siendo un adolescente en la banda Del Fuegos en los años 80, afirmó que, aunque ama el disco, siempre le costó entenderlo como cambio de rumbo:“Fue, para mí, uno de los mayores giros a la izquierda en la historia de la música popular”.
Tras leer la descripción de Nebraska en las memorias de Springsteen, seguida de un relato profundo de una crisis emocional, Zanes comenzó a escribir un libro sobre el álbum, entrevistando a Springsteen y a su mánager de toda la vida, Jon Landau. Ese libro, titulado Deliver Me From Nowhere (Líbrame de la nada, título original en inglés de la película también) se publicó en 2023 y Cooper lo utilizó como base para el guion.
La película retrata a Springsteen en este periodo como un personaje solitario y atribulado, pero productivo, inspirado en el filme Badlands (Malas tierras) de Terrence Malick (1973), el dúo punk Suicide y su propia biografía. Springsteen compone las canciones de Nebraska mientras revive recuerdos de infancia ligados a su padre, melancólico y bebedor, que aparece en un flashback en blanco y negro. Surge una relación con Faye, una madre soltera de Nueva Jersey, pero el músico no logra comprometerse con ella. (Faye, figura compuesta, es el único personaje principal que no está basado en una persona real).
“Bruce estaba obsesionado, no en lo gótico, sino en lo espiritual”, explicó Cooper, usando una gorra de Stone Pony. “Creo que lo obsesionaba su padre, emocionalmente distante, ese mito estadounidense de quienes persiguen el sueño americano y no lo logran”.
Cooper indicó que tanto él como Springsteen decidieron no construir una hagiografía, sino mostrar las luchas y fracasos del artista, además de sus logros. “No me interesaba mitificarlo”, declaró el director. “No estaba persiguiendo al Jefe. Busco al hombre solo en una habitación en Colts Neck con una grabadora tratando de darle sentido a su vida y a sus traumas”.
Las vivencias de Springsteen con la depresión, antes poco conocidas, se hicieron públicas en sus memorias de 2016. La relación con su padre ocupó un lugar central en Springsteen on Broadway, su espectáculo de 2017.
“Hace mucho tiempo, las defensas que construí para soportar el estrés de mi infancia, para salvar lo que tenía de mí mismo, dejaron de ser útiles”, escribió Springsteen en ese libro. “Me basé en ellas para aislarme, sellar mi alienación, aislarme de la vida, controlar a los demás y contener mis emociones hasta un punto perjudicial. Ahora el cobrador llama a la puerta, y su pago será en lágrimas”.
Cooper aseguró que White fue la única opción para el papel principal. “Pensaron que podía expresar una historia compleja con calma y mucha intensidad física”, dijo el protagonista.
El actor dudó. El papel exigía interpretación musical, pero White no era cantante ni había tocado guitarra. “Le dije: ‘Me gustaría hacer esto contigo, adoro a Bruce, ¿pero no prefieres a alguien que ya sepa hacerlo?’”.
Hasta que Cooper le transmitió que Springsteen mismo quería que lo interpretara. “En ese punto pensé: ‘No voy a interponerme en su camino’”.
Durante seis meses, White estudió guitarra y tomó clases diarias de canto con Eric Vetro, entrenador vocal de celebridades, responsable de la preparación de Austin Butler en Elvis y de Timothée Chalamet para Un completo desconocido.
En la película, la voz de White se escucha cuando canta en pantalla; en otras escenas es la voz de Springsteen.
Se ve a White con cabello desordenado, hombros musculosos encorvados en una campera de cuero negro, conduciendo un Camaro Z28 por las carreteras de Nueva Jersey, una imagen del Jefe de unos 30 años que sorprendió a sus compañeros de elenco.
“Se concentró por completo”, dijo Odessa Young, quien encarna a Faye. “Está muy presente y concentrado, y verlo interpretar a Bruce resultó casi inquietante”.
Gran parte del filme gira en torno a la relación casi fraternal de Springsteen con Landau, inicialmente crítico musical que luego se convirtió en su mánager y productor. Su colaboración histórica, desde 1975, es una de las más largas y exitosas del rock.
Jeremy Strong (Succession, El Aprendiz) interpreta a Landau como un artista empático y pragmático. Al oír Nebraska por primera vez, el representante intenta comprender la música y el dolor de su cliente. “Tiene una sensibilidad magistral”, señaló Strong sobre Landau.
Pero Landau sabe que hay un límite a su ayuda. En un momento crucial, Springsteen llega a una casa vacía en Los Ángeles y llama a Landau, quien le dice: “Necesitas ayuda, ayuda profesional”. El músico inicia terapia, a la que atribuye un cambio vital.
Persisten ciertas tensiones, sobre todo con la presión de la discográfica CBS respecto al lanzamiento de Nebraska. Finalmente, Landau y Springsteen salieron fortalecidos. Nebraska alcanzó el número 3 y fue celebrada por la crítica. Su álbum siguiente, Born in the USA, consagró a Bruce Springsteen como superestrella mundial.
Cooper optó por no dramatizar la negociación con CBS, evitando el cliché del conflicto entre artista y sello discográfico y enfocándose en la relación entre Springsteen y Landau. “Es una historia de amor entre estos dos hombres”, afirmó.
“La experiencia de Jon en la película pone a prueba su fe y determinación respecto a la visión de Bruce”, opinó Strong. “Aparecen imperativos comerciales versus imperativos artísticos y espirituales. En la vida real, Jon Landau jamás hubiera elegido lo primero”.
Springsteen y Landau aprobaron la realización de la película y Cooper dijo que ninguno de los dos pidió cambios. “Dejamos claro que era su historia”, afirmó Landau. “No solicitamos ni recibimos control sobre la filmación, el guion, la edición, el reparto, la música ni otro aspecto”. Agregó: “A mi juicio, es una de las mejores decisiones que hemos tomado”.
El rodaje comenzó en septiembre de 2024 y siguió hasta enero de 2025, mientras Springsteen realizaba su última gira. Él y Landau fueron presencias habituales en el set. “Casi todas las noches”, contó White, “recibía mensajes de texto de Bruce acerca de algún momento del rodaje que él sentía fiel a las emociones que vivió de joven”.
“Esos mensajes”, añadió, “me marcaron”.

Front-runners for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, wasted little time attacking each other on alleged personal scandals they have been involved in during a Wednesday night debate between the pair and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani and Sliwa took the opportunity during Wednesday’s debate to drill down on past sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo, the former governor of New York, ahead of an impeachment inquiry that preceded Cuomo’s 2021 resignation. Cuomo was also hit by Mamdani over accusations he has – while in public office – failed to meet with Muslim constituents and only began doing so amid pressure from his mayoral campaign, and over his alleged poor handling of the COVID-19 virus in New York after Cuomo was party to issuing guidance forcing nursing homes and long-term care facilities to admit COVID-19 positive patients.
Meanwhile, Cuomo did not hold back on targeting Mamdani over alleged controversies that have embattled his campaign. Cuomo blasted the self-proclaimed socialist over his lack of experience, ties to radical politics, and past radical comments about law enforcement, Israel and the situation in Gaza.

«My main opponent has no new ideas. He has no new plan. … He’s never run anything, managed anything. He’s never had a real job,» Cuomo said of Mamdani during the debate. Cuomo also branded Mamdani as someone who has proven to be «a divisive force in New York,» pointing to past incidents that have garnered Mamdani heat from critics.
One of those incidents included a picture he took with a hard-lined Ugandan lawmaker who has pushed policies of imprisoning people for being gay, which Mamdani took while taking a break from the campaign trail to visit his home country of Uganda for a wedding. Cuomo also hit the controversy over whether Mamdani supports Jewish New Yorkers, as his critics have claimed he is anti-Israel pointing to statements he has made, like «globalize the intifada.»
Cuomo also accused Mamdani of disrespecting Italian-Americans after a video of him surfaced giving the middle finger to a statue of Christopher Columbus, while also pointing to criticism the self-proclaimed socialist candidate has garnered from 9/11 first-responders after posting a photo with a Muslim cleric who served as a character witness for the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks.

«You have been a divisive force in New York, and I believe that’s toxic energy for New York. It’s with the Jewish community. It’s with the Italian-American community – when you give the Columbus statue the finger. It’s with the Sunni Muslims when you say decriminalize prostitution, which is Haram. It’s the Hindus,» Cuomo continued. «Then, you take a picture with Rebecca Kadaga, deputy Prime Minister of Uganda. … She’s known as Rebecca ‘Gay Killer.’ … You’re a citizen of Uganda. You took the picture. You said you didn’t know who she was. It turns out you did. How do you not renounce your citizenship or demand BDS against Uganda for imprisoning people who are gay just by their sexual orientation? Isn’t that a basic violation of human rights?»
Mamdani shot back that his politics have remained «consistent» and that they are built on a belief in human rights for all people, including LGBTQ+ folks. Had he known Kadga’s role in drafting legislation to imprison gay folks, Mamdani said, he never would have taken the picture.
«This constant attempt to smear and slander me is an attempt to also distract from the fact that, unlike myself, you do not actually have a platform or a set of policies,» Mamdani shot back at Cuomo before introducing his own claims about the former governor regarding past accusations of sexual harassment.

«Mr. Cuomo. In 2021, 13 different women who worked in your administration credibly accused you of sexual harassment. Since then, you have spent more than $20 million in taxpayer funds to defend yourself, all while describing these allegations as entirely political,» Mamdani said while attacking Cuomo Wednesday night.
«You have even gone so far as to legally go after these women. One of those women, Charlotte Bennett, is here in the audience this evening. You sought to access her private gynecological records. She cannot speak up for herself because you lodged a defamation case against her. I, however, can speak. What do you say to the 13 women that you sexually harassed?»
Cuomo, in 2021, was accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment that preceded his resignation as governor that year. A subsequent report from New York Attorney General Letitia James confirmed Cuomo «sexually harassed multiple women from 2013 through 2020,» while in January 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice announced it had reached a nearly $500,000 settlement with Cuomo’s executive office over one of the claims. However, no criminal charges were ever filed against Cuomo, with some district attorneys citing insufficient evidence.

Cuomo defended himself against Mamdani’s accusations, noting the cases were eventually dropped, before returning to questions about Mamdani’s alleged past.
Meanwhile, Sliwa didn’t skip an opportunity to slam Cuomo over the sexual assault allegations either, saying early in the debate during a discussion about homelessness that Cuomo «fled» the governor’s office amid an impeachment inquiry that was investigating him.
«Andrew, you didn’t ‘leave.’ You fled from being impeached by the Democrats in the state legislature,» Sliwa began before getting into the homelessness issue, earning him a round-of-applause from the audience.
«‘Leave?’ You fled!» Sliwa continued to applause. «But let’s get back on topic.»
