Israel accuses Mohammed el-Halabi, a manager of the aid group’s Gaza office, of diverting millions of dollars from World Vision’s budget to the Islamic militant group Hamas, helping it build underground tunnels, military bases and purchasing arms. His trial is expected to begin soon.
The comments on Monday by Kevin Jenkins, World Vision’s international CEO, come as Amnesty International is also calling for a fair trial amid reports that el-Halabi’s proceedings will be closed.
Trials for cases that Israel considers highly sensitive are sometimes held in secret.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon says “it’s clear that the trial will be fair.”
Dear Mr Kevin Jenkins. CEO World Vision. You can rest asssured that his trial will be 100 times Fairer than if the palistinians was the arrest an isreali for the same offense. And they would definitely not be listening to your suggestions
The palestinians execute their own people if there is even a hint of a suspicion of a thought that they work with Israel. Interesting that I don’t see so much concern about that.
WV calls for fair trial? Why? Do we normally give un-fair trials?
Go to Iran or Gaza and see what kind of fair trial a Jew would get….
