A high-ranking official of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Ben Davis, alleges he was dismissed after 26 years of service for criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza. Davis, who helped prepare a report on food availability in Gaza and international humanitarian law, claims he was accused of violating neutrality norms by organizing weekly silent protests and publishing the report. The FAO's Director-General, Qu Dongyu, appeared to warn staff against playing 'human rights games', leading Davis to believe the remarks were directed at him.
