Gaza: Israel Pays $10.5 Million to UN for War Damage

Israel has paid the United Nations $10.5 million for damage to UN properties in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.

“With this payment, the United Nations has agreed that the financial issues relating to those incidents referred to in the terms of reference of the Board of Inquiry are concluded,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s spokesman Martin Nesirky told a news briefing on Friday. “The Secretary-General would like to record the cooperative approach that the Government of Israel has shown in the course of the discussions that led to this settlement.”
