The United Nations Development Programme sponsored a West Bank soccer tournament in April held in honor of a Palestinian terrorist who orchestrated one of the deadliest terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians in history, according to Palestinian media reports.
The annual Prince of Martyrs Khalil Al-Wazir Abu Jihad Football Tournament is named in honor of Fatah-founder Al-Wazir, who planned the 1978 Coastal Road massacre that killed 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children. The tournament, held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Al-Wazir’s “martyrdom death,” was reportedly organized by the Ansar Al-Quds Club and sponsored by the UNDP, according to Palestinian Authority newspaperAl-Hayat Al-Jadida.
The UNDP logo was prominently displayed on a banner emblazoned with a giant photo of Al-Wazir, pictures published by Palestinian news agency Ma’an show.
Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli research institute that monitors Palestinian media, first flagged the reports and photos.
