Israel calls out UN for using image of child murdered by Hamas for pro-Palestinian exhibit

The United Nations office in Geneva removed multiple photos from a pro-Palestinian exhibit after several critics, including the Israeli mission, noted that dead Israeli children had been included.

The mission first flagged the misinformation on Thursday after identifying 5-year-old Ido Avigal among the pictures of Palestinian children allegedly killed by Israel in Gaza.

"Hamas killed Ido," the Israeli mission to the U.N. in Geneva posted on X, formerly Twitter. "We call on [U.N. Geneva Director-General Tatiana] Valovaya to immediately remove this exhibition, which spreads misinformation and is part of a propaganda campaign."

The mission said Avigal died in 2021 when a Hamas rocket barrage hit his house in Sderot, calling his inclusion in the exhibition "despicable."

"While some people may indeed have seen [the photos] as the exhibition was in a public area, our colleagues were notified very quickly and very quickly put them down," Alessandra Vellucci, director of the United Nations Information Service, told Fox News Digital.

Vellucci acknowledged that multiple "images" were included in the exhibit but insisted they "were not there for long." She said that no one saw who included the images.
